Motivation: Multi-Loop Coils (MLCs) allow to reduce the sample-induced noise while achieving a large Field Of View. Their sensitivity would be improved with the use of superconducting materials.
Goal(s): We aim to develop a superconducting MLC achieving both a large Field Of View and high quality factor.
Approach: An initial design is modified to render a MLC self-resonant and optimized using electromagnetic simulations.
Results: The HTS Multi Loop Transmission Line Resonator coil characterizations are presented. Q-factor and resonance frequency decline in presence of the static magnetic field or of a conductive sample but the coil still exhibits higher performances than copper MLCs.
Impact: Multi Loop Transmission Line Resonator represents a promising design strategy to increase the Field Of View of HTS reception coils without compromising with the coil sensitivity.
