To address this problem, a long-known principle during reception with coil arrays (preamplifier decoupling) was also applied in the transmit branch of the TxRx switch. Furthermore, adding an extra λ/4 cable between coil and TxRx switch allows to switch between minimum and maximum RD with otherwise almost equal coil characteristics. This may be further exploited for for testing pulse sequences with regards to potential RD effects.
