Offset Cartesian feedback (FOCF) has been proposed to deal with the
challenges associated with control of the RF transmission fields in arrays of
coils. Critical milestones in the development of a FOCF system are to
guarantee that stability existand can be found automaticallyup to the full
rated power of the RF amplifier, and to measure the increased performance of
the amplifier for several control variables. In this work, we present the
hardware and simulation methods developed to characterize and study stability
and performance of our system, as well as the results of these milestone
tests.
