In this work, we designed a frequency division duplex RF system for frequency encoding using Bloch-Siegert shift at very low field, with a modification of dual-band pass filters. Although the off-resonance frequency (870 kHz) is very close to the Larmor frequency (1 MHz), the applied off-resonance signal can be filtered out by a modified dual-band pass filter on the receive path. This system allows us to apply a 870 kHz transmit pulse while receiving 1 MHz signal from the RF coil.
