Synopsis
The recent introduction of the flexible shielded-coaxial-cable coils (SCC) and their intrinsic high degree of decoupling between elements make them ideal for multichannel transceiver arrays needed for improved field homogeneity at ultra-high field MRI. In this work, we show the mode of operation of the SCC and that the selection of its second resonance mode is crucial to obtain its intrinsic high degree of decoupling between elements. We obtained this insight using both numerical simulations and an equivalent circuit model, which can guide to optimal SCC designs in the future.
