To-date, increasing interest in adapting dipole antennae for imaging at ultra-high field strengths has spawned the design and construction of many dipole-based RF arrays. However, increased electric-field interactions between dipole-to-sample and dipole-to-dipole provide an implementation barrier due to mutual coupling and load-sensitivity. This study presents an analysis of dipole-to-dipole coupling and implements a filter design method to isolate dipole elements in a highly-conformal array designed for human brain imaging at 7 Tesla.
