Synopsis

The relevant electromagnetic compatibility mechanisms of an integrated receiver based on 130nm CMOS technology are investigated. Imaging performance is verified with a digital wearable array, which was based on liquid metal and layed out for knee imaging. The study found that gradient switching and transients related to detuning are not critical in terms of EMC. However, coupling of RF to the preamplifier input has been found to exceed the receiver’s acceptable input voltage of 1.7V despite the use of protection diodes. Thus, a B1 limitation was applied and robust imaging performance was demonstrated in phantom and in vivo imaging.
