Abstract

The development of a digital console for in-vivo rapid scan electron paramagnetic resonance (RS-EPR) spectroscopy and imaging is described in detail. The console was build using field programmable gate array (FGPA) technology that permits real-time control of the resonator and scanning magnetic fields during the measurements. Automatic resonator tuning and matching are achieved by implementing a digital feedback control system and using voltage-tunable capacitors. A band-pass subsampling method is used to directly digitize EPR signals at the carrier frequencies of about 1.2 GHz. The magnetic field scan waveforms, excitation EPR frequency, and sampling clock are all internally synchronized. Full-cycle RS-EPR signals are accumulated in the FPGA in real time without any time gaps. The result is the elimination of the re-arm time, during which data are not acquired. The proposed design in this manuscript has a small footprint and is relatively low cost. The FPGA-based RS-EPR system was tested using standard LiNc-BuO and tempone-d16 samples. The RS-EPR linewidth of the LiNc-BuO sample was consistent with an independent pulsed EPR measurement.
