In MRI, traditional RF coils have cables, which supply the on-coil electronics with power and carry the received signals out from the receive elements to further amplification, digitization and post-processing. The standard technique for blocking currents being induced on the cables uses RF traps, colloquially called bazooka baluns, which represent parallel resonant tanks coupled (magnetically) to the cable. Question: If the volume of the bazooka balun is fixed, what would be its diameter and length so that the impedance of the balun is maximized?
