A long solenoid is capable of producing, at least theoretically, a B, field that is relatively more homogeneous than other known structures. This paper describes the design of a UHF probe incorporating a one‐turn solenoid associated with a pair of parallel‐plate transmission line feeders and presents a practical example used in a 360‐MHz spectrometer for micro‐imaging experiments. Numerical evaluation of the solenoid inductance using King's method for direct calculation of elliptic integrals is also included. © 1987 Academic press, Inc.
