Description

Rapid synchronous frequency sweep wave source device and method for magnetic resonance system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of magnetic resonance, in particular to a rapid synchronous frequency sweeping wave source device and a method for a magnetic resonance system.
Background
The magnetic resonance technology is a scientific method for controlling spin by electromagnetic waves, and a sample is excited by a radio frequency field to generate a resonance phenomenon, so that the characteristic detection of the sample is realized. The device can detect the composition, structure and kinetic properties of the substance unit on the microscopic scale of the tested sample without causing damage to the tested sample. In recent years, with the development of technologies such as fourier transform spectroscopy, two-dimensional spectroscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance technology has been widely and importantly used in many fields such as information science, materials, chemistry, biology, and medicine. For example, the method is applied to the optical detection magnetic resonance technology in the field of quantum precision measurement, the radio frequency source provides a continuously-changing uninterrupted excitation signal for a magnetic resonance system through frequency sweeping, magnetic resonance measurement is carried out on a sample, and finally the spin magnetic resonance frequency of a target color center is accurately obtained.
However, as the integration and complexity of magnetic resonance systems increase, the synchronization of the excitation signal and the detection device becomes critical. Particularly in the field of quantum precision measurement, taking a quantum experiment system based on an NV color center as an example, devices integrated by the system mainly comprise a wave source, a pulse generator, an acquisition card and the like. In order to accurately obtain the resonance frequency of the NV color center, the wave source needs to be accurately synchronized with other instrument equipment in the frequency sweeping process, and the one-to-one correspondence of experimental parameters is ensured. If commercial wave sources on the market are adopted, the wave sources can be coordinated with other experimental equipment only by using a computer. This approach involves a large amount of communication and system reset time, which adds significantly to the time overhead.
Meanwhile, the dead time of switching among different frequency points is also very important. Similarly, quantum experimental systems based on NV color centers are used as examples. Due to the influence of factors such as the output power of a microwave source on the overturning time between electron spin energy levels, the duration required by each frequency point is only in the order of us or even ns. Currently, a phase-locked loop based on a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is mostly used for generating a stable output signal in a commercial wave source. However, when the output frequency is changed, the dead time when different frequency points are switched is increased due to the longer time for re-locking the phase-locked loop, so that the experimental time overhead is increased. The Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) can effectively shorten the dead time of switching between different frequency points. The wave source based on the DDS technology can modify data for driving the ADC through the change of phase information in the phase accumulator in one period of the switching frequency, so that the output frequency is changed, and the rapid frequency switching is realized. For example, for a DDS technology-based wave source with 145MHz of operating clock, the output delay is in ns when the frequency is changed.

A fast synchronized frequency sweep method for a magnetic resonance system as set forth in claim 8, wherein: the specific process of the step S4 is as follows: the fast synchronization module in the FPGA core module detects the rising edge of the trigger pulse signal, and once the rising edge of the trigger pulse signal is detected, the fast synchronization module sends a data output instruction to the data control module, the data control module sends address data to the frequency tuning word main memory, and the frequency data sent by the frequency tuning word main memory is output to a wave source sampling port of the direct digital synthesizer through the data selector module; after the data is kept for a period of time, the direct digital synthesizer wave source control module sends an output pulse signal to the direct digital synthesizer wave source, the direct digital synthesizer wave source collects the output pulse signal, and the frequency signal set by the frequency tuning word data is output.
