A novel RF coil design, termed an RF/wireless coil, enables simultaneous image acquisition and wireless communication by allowing currents to flow simultaneously at the Larmor and WIFI frequencies. Measurements of the far-field radiation parameters are not practical in an MRI scanner. Thus, simulations are performed to optimize the far-field performance within the scanner bore to maintain the wirelessly transmitted data integrity. In this work, finite element simulations, verified with anechoic chamber gain-pattern measurements and SNR maps from a constructed RF/Wireless coil, are performed to optimize the far-field gain, directivity, and link budget of the RF/Wireless coil within the scanner bore.
