Synopsis

Keywords: RF Arrays & Systems, RF Arrays & Systems

Motivation: Optimize dipole antennas for 7T MR applications.

Goal(s): Enable compact 300MHz dipole structures for higher-channel arrays.

Approach: Introduce a solenoidal dipole design and evaluate against meander designs using numerical simulations.

Results: Analyze H-field efficiency, electric-field distributions, coupling, and Q-factors in multi-channel arrays.

Impact: The introduction of a solenoidal dipole design overcomes limitations posed by meander structures, enabling shorter and compact 300MHz dipole antennas for 7T MR applications within higher-channel multi-channel arrays, positively impacting MR imaging efficiency and signal quality.
