Abstract
The nitrogen vacancy (NV) centre is one of the most popular stable point defect centres in diamond. It acts as a single photon source even at room temperature. In order to analyse the optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) with the help of NV colour centre in diamond, an external magnetic field is needed as well as a microwave (MW) antenna. In this chapter, the authors present a simulated model of a microwave antenna and propose further modifications in order to increase the intensity of the microwave field.
