Synopsis

Keywords: RF Arrays & Systems, RF Arrays & Systems

In this work, a wrap-on 447MHz transceiver array using the 2^nd mode of coaxial transmission line resonator is designed, constructed and tested for human head imaging at the ultrahigh field of 10.5T. Results demonstrate the unique decoupling performance among the resonant elements achievable even for non-overlapped array layouts. The 10.5T images of a human head phantom acquired from the proposed array along with numerical simulations are shown.
