In receiver coil arrays, the most commonly used decoupling methods are overlap together with low-input-impedance preamplifiers. But very small receiver coils can not be decoupled effectively with these two methods. A new decoupling method, which is helpful for receiver coil arrays with very small coils, is developed here. The coil arrays decoupled with this method have less noise correlation and better performance in highly accelerated imaging in the sample periphery.
