Creating wireless MRI receive coils requires the clock for the on-coil electronics to be in phase with the clock of the MRI transmit system. Sending a wireless clock using a phase locked loop (PLL) single tone that is divided down versus a dual tone AM double side band suppressed carrier (AM DSB-SC) system can have different results in jitter of the clock. We experiment with these architectures,. The wireless clock transfer methods will ultimately impact SNR of the ADC system and its robustness to phase changes from environmental scenarios such as patient motion or multipath effects.
