We describe an automated hands-off bench testing method for measuring the magnetic field profile of transceiver coils for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The scattering parameter (S-parameter) data is measured using a portable network analyzer, and the results are automatically exported to a computer for plotting and viewing. This assay dramatically reduces the time needed to measure the magnetic field (B 1) homogeneity profile of a transceiver coil while also improving accuracy relative to manual operation. Here, we demonstrate the method on a saddle coil of a solution-state NMR probe in comparison to profiles obtained using NMR spectroscopy measurements. We also measure the axial homogeneity of a variable-pitch solenoid.
