We demonstrate a new on-coil current-source switch-mode amplifier and communication setup for 7T imaging, which allows monitoring of the RF phase, frequency and amplitude at the amplifier output. This information is made available through a single optical signal per amplifier, making it a practical approach for safety monitoring and fast calibration of on-coil amplifier technology for parallel RF transmission.
