Here
we describe a six channel inexpensive FDM receiver, agnostic to the nuclei of
interest or magnetic field strength, implemented straightforwardly using
off-the-shelf products, portable, and easily used in conjunction with any
system with a single trigger line. The architecture is straightforwardly
scalable to 16 channels at a cost of approximately $1300 per channel. This work
describes the receiver architecture and the capabilities are demonstrated by
acquiring six channel images from a previously reported mouse array coil,
two-channel 13C spectra, and comparing the SNR of the receiver to
the Varian Inova system.
