An apparatus for performing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements of a material of interest includes an NMR tool and a processor. The NMR tool includes a transmitter antenna; a transmitter coupled to the transmitter antenna; and a receiver antenna configured to receive NMR signals in response to transmitted pulses of electromagnetic energy transmitted by the transmitter antenna. The NMR signals include at least a first signal and a second signal of a phase-alternated group of signals. The processor is configured to receive the NMR signals; receive a first system gain related to the first signal and a second system gain related to the second signal, each system gain being related to a system comprising the NMR tool and the material of interest; and calibrate the NMR signals using the first system gain and the second system gain.
An apparatus for performing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements of a material of interest, the apparatus comprising:
The apparatus according to claim 24, wherein the first signal and the second signal each comprise NMR and non-NMR signals where the NMR signal of the second signal has a phase opposite of the corresponding NMR signal of the first signal.
A method for performing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements of a material of interest, the method comprising:
The method according to claim 25, wherein the first signal and the second signal each comprise NMR and non-NMR signals where the NMR signal of the second signal has a phase opposite of the corresponding NMR signal of the first signal.
The method according to claim 25, wherein the first system gain and the second system gain are received from a regulator configured to regulate the output of a transmitter coupled to the transmitter antenna.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions for performing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements of a material of interest by implementing a method comprising:
