    Abstract

    Inductive sensor-based measurement techniques are useful for a wide range of biomedical applications. However, optimizing the noise performance of these sensors is challenging at broadband frequencies, owing to the frequency-dependent reactance of the sensor. In this work, we describe the fundamental limits of noise performance and bandwidth for these sensors in combination with a low-noise amplifier. We also present three equivalent methods of noise matching to inductive sensors using transformer-like network topologies. Finally, we apply these techniques to improve the noise performance in magnetic particle imaging, a new molecular imaging modality with excellent detection sensitivity. Using a custom noise-matched amplifier, we experimentally demonstrate an 11-fold improvement in noise performance in a small animal magnetic particle imaging scanner.
