Synopsis

Coil arrays enhance human body performance for an MRI measurement both in speed and signal-to-noise ratio. However, size and cabling of such arrays can deteriorate the performance of the imaging, or put at risk the safety of the patient. A miniaturized preamplifier is proposed (dimensions 24mm x 11mm), to be placed directly onto the receive coil. The design needs to preserve a good performance (noise figure ≤ 1dB, gain ≈ 28dB), and provide high impedance to minimize the coupling to nearby coils.
