In this work we show a two-channel digitally controlled on coil high efficiency modified Class E amplifier for RF excitation easily tunable for 1.5 and 3 T. The amplifiers coupling in dual channel outside the scanner was investigated to show how the operation integrity of nearby amplifiers is affected. MR experiment in a 3 T scanner was conducted in order to test the two-channel system and showed the feasibility of the system for larger number of channels.
