We proposed an annular microstrip-line resonator (AMLR) to provide a broadband, circularly polarized and uniform microwave field for state manipulation of negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV-) center ensembles in order to achieve wide magnetic field detection range and large area microwave synchronous manipulation in miniaturized magnetic sensing devices. The bandwidth of the designed AMLR was 410 MHz when the input return losses was -10dB. With the designed bandwidth, a magnetic field detection range of 292 G was achieved based on the NV- center ensembles. The relationship between the direction of the magnetic field and the phase of the source signal indicated that the generated microwave field of AMLR was circularly polarized. Furthermore, the magnetic field magnitude homogeneity is higher than the parallel-microstrip-lines resonator (PMLR) and the intersected-microstrip-lines resonator (IMLR), and the magnetic field magnitude of AMLR had a difference of 0.012 G in the center of a 1Ɨ1 mm2 area. The AMLR has a great potential in magnetic field detection, temperature and pressure detection, which is useful for quantum applications with NV- center ensembles in diamond.
