When the low magnetic field is applied to the synunetry axis of the axial synunetric electric field gradient tensor of the quadrupolar nucleus in the crystal with nuclear spin, I=1, two split resonance frequencies are observed by the Zeeman effect on the nuclear quadrupole resonance. The applied magnetic field is proportional to the difference of the two resonance frequencies and this proportionality constant for the $^{14}N$ of ${(CH_{2})}_{6}N_{4}$ single crystal is 0.16 mT/kHz. The NQR spectrometer is interfaced with a personal computer from which the resonance signals are displayed and the value of magnetic field is obtained directly from the difference of the two resonance frequeocies. The lowestest measured magnetic field was 0.20 mT using this NQR technique.

Noise and Radio-frequency interference or RFI causes a significant restriction on the Free induction Decay or FID signal detection of the Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance procedure. Therefore, using this method in non-isolated environments such as industry and ports requires extraordinary measures. For this purpose, noise reduction algorithms and increasing signal-to-noise-and-interference ratio or SNIR have been used. In this research, sodium nitrite has been used as a sample and algorithms have been tested in a non-isolated environment. The resonant frequencies for the 150 g of test sample were measured at 303 K at about 1 MHz and 3.4 MHz. The main novelty in this study was, (1) using two types of antennas in the receiver to improve adaptive noise and interference cancellation, (2) using a separate helical antenna in the transmitter to eliminate the duplexer, (3) estimating the noise before sending the pulse to calculate the weighting factors and reduce the noise by adaptive noise cancellation, (3) reject the interference by blanking algorithm, (4) pulse integration in the frequency domain to increase the SNR, and (5) increasing the detection speed by new pulse integration technique. By interference rejection and noise cancellation, the SNIR is improved to 9.24 dB at 1 MHz and to 7.28 dB at 3.4 MHz, and by pulse integration 44.8 dB FID signal amplification is achieved, and the FID signals are detected at 1.057 MHz and 3.402 MHz at room temperature.
