The following figure-23.2 represents the block diagram of the experimental set up for E.S.R

Figure-23.2

The experimental set up consists of

1. Microwave radiation source is Klystrons or gun oscillator

2. A sample cell is a cavity where the microwave is transmitted through waveguide

3. A d.c magnetic field and a sweeping circuit for changing the magnetic field.

4. A detection system basically a rectifier crystal for measuring the absorption

5. A data acquisition and a phase sensitive signal processing unit

6. A computer to control the magnet as well as storing the data
