A dual band Lattice balun was proposed previously, which holds the promise of removing common mode current for both frequencies in dual-tuned MRI coils with a single interfacing unit. However, the previously fabricated unit had a considerable insertion loss at the proton Larmor frequency. In this work, we analyzed how each lumped element will affect this device's performance and optimized the circuit performance based on the analysis.
