Monitoring motion in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment safely and reliably requires placing wireless nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensors in the bore. This paper proposes an integrated circuit capable of achieving phase synchronization and creating triggering events for such sensors...
