The co-simulation method suffers local minima during the design of a transmit array coils. In this study, our purpose is to utilize an equivalent circuit model of the coil and analytical calculations to provide a proper initial guess for co-simulation method. For the proof of concept, we designed and constructed an eight-channel head-degenerate birdcage coil (DBC) for a 3T scanner using this method which decreased the optimization time by more than 6000 fold.
