Keywords: RF Arrays & Systems, Simulations, SNR, Noise Coupling
Motivation: The aim of our study was to analyze the SNR loss due to noise coupling during reception with MRI coil arrays.
Goal(s): In particular, we wanted to experimentally confirm the existing calculation methods.
Approach: We compared the simulation predicted SNR loss due receiver noise against measurements for a single as well as for three coil elements.
Results: A nice agreement was shown between theory and experiment.
Impact: With our study, we also show how decisively noise coupling affects the SNR of an array.
