Together with the theory of operation, we present the details of a custom-designed prototype implementation of a VCO-based NMR detector with an operating frequency around 62 MHz. The proof-of-concept measurements obtained with this prototype clearly demonstrate the possibility of performing dead time-free NMR experiments with coherent spin manipulation. Moreover, we also experimentally verified the capability of VCO-based detectors for performing real-time inductive detection of Rabi oscillations during the excitation pulse.
