A shielding ring based decoupling technique was
investigated for small monolithic HTS coils, an
analytical model based on magnetic flux compensation to
determine the geometric configuration of two neighbor
shielding rings to achieve optimal decoupling was
developed and validated experimentally using a two-MTLR
copper array, and the effect of the shielding rings on
the overall coil losses was evaluated using a standard
2-coil array cooled at LN2 temperature. Results show
that configuration achieving near-optimal decoupling can
be obtained using this model, and high Q-factor value by
employing HTS material can be expected by exploiting
this technique.
