Signal Processing And Analysis Techniques For Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance Spectroscopy

Download or read book Signal Processing and Analysis Techniques for Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance Spectroscopy written by Cristian Monea and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about improving prohibited substances detection using the nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) technique at security checkpoints. The book proposes multiple signal processing and analysis techniques for improving detection of dangerous or contraband substances, such as explosives, narcotics, or toxic substances. Also, several hardware solutions are described and implemented in a custom-designed NQR spectrometer. A new approach to NQR signal detection is introduced using artificial intelligence/deep learning techniques. The book will be useful for for researchers and practitioners in the areas of electrical engineering, signal processing and analysis, applied spectroscopy, as well as for security or laboratory equipment manufacturers.
