  • Beschreibung: Low field (LF) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) shows potential advantages to study pure heteronuclear J-coupling and observe the fine structure of matter. Power-line harmonics interferences and fixed-frequency noise peaks might introduce discrete noise peaks into the LF-NMR spectrum in an open environment or in a conductively shielded room, which might disturb J-coupling spectra of matter recorded at LF. In this paper, we describe a multi-channel sensor configuration of superconducting quantum interference devices, and measure the multiple peaks of the 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol J-coupling spectrum. For the case of low signal to noise ratio (SNR) < 1, we suggest two noise suppression algorithms using discrete wavelet analysis (DWA), combined with either least squares method (LSM) or gradient descent (GD). The de-noising methods are based on spatial correlation of the interferences among the superconducting sensors, and are experimentally demonstrated. The DWA-LSM algorithm shows a significant effect in the noise reduction and recovers SNR > 1 for most of the signal peaks. The DWA-GD algorithm improves the SNR further, but takes more computational time. Depending on whether the accuracy or the speed of the de-noising process is more important in LF-NMR applications, the choice of algorithm should be made
