A
microstrip is made of a metallic strip on PCB surface creating a planar RF
transmission line. The RF coils based on microstrip design, have been already
applied to MRI and MRS. These coils produce homogenous RF field only within a
very restricted field of view (FOV). The coil presented in this paper is
based on a double microstip concept resembling a volume coil and generating
homogenous RF field within a large FOV. Computer simulations of RF field and
SNR are presented. An example of the application of the double microstrip
volume microcoil to MR microscopy is also shown
