This work describes two interleaved nine-leg linear birdcages for geometric decoupling from a double-tuned planar array for 1H and 23Na at 4.7T. An asymmetric design was chosen to create aligned fields to simultaneously decouple the receive array from the two transmit birdcages. This straightforward design provides sufficient decoupling from coils in all six positions in the final array configuration and enables multinuclear multichannel imaging experiments.
