We
present a reliable and fast workflow for comprehensive joint numerical study
of 7T transmit-only, receive-only RF coils as complete devices. The
flexibility of the workflow allows inclusion of almost all the RF and DC
components used for tune/de-tune/match/decoupling. The S-parameter data and
B1+ and B1- profiles obtained for a family of loop-based 8-channel TX-only,
8-channel RX-only coils allow estimation of the required impedance of
de-tuning circuits.
