Synopsis

Keywords: RF Arrays & Systems, RF Arrays & SystemsWe evaluated in simulation and experimentally the effects that the insertion of a 32-channel sleeve antenna receiver array has on the B1+ and SAR performance of a 447 MHz/10.5 T 16-channel loop transmitter array. For this we carefully developed accurate models of both the 16-channel loop transmitter and the 32-channel sleeve antenna receiver, compared simulated with experimental B1+ and evaluated the expected SAR efficiency of the 16-channel loop transmitter array with and without the 32-channel sleeve antenna receiver array insert.
