A radiofrequency voltage-controlled current source for quantum spin manipulation
Abstract
We present a design for a wide-bandwidth, voltage-controlled current source that is easily integrated with radiofrequency magnetic field coils. Our design uses current feedback to compensate for the frequency-dependent impedance of a radiofrequency antenna. We are able to deliver peak currents greater than 100 mA over a 300 kHz to 54 MHz frequency span. The radiofrequency current source fits onto a printed circuit board smaller than 4~cm2 and consumes less than 1.3 W of power. It is suitable for use in deployable quantum sensors and nuclear-magnetic-resonance systems.
