Abstract:
There is provided a novel method and circuit of compensating for cross-talk between pairs of adjacent array elements of a transceiver phased array and double-tuned transceiver arrays for a magnetic resonance system using a resonant inductive decoupling circuit. The geometry and size of the resonant inductive decoupling circuit allows for the decoupling circuit to compensate for the cross-talk between array elements, including the reactive and resistive components of the mutual impedance while being sufficiently small to not distort a RF magnetic field of the array elements produced within a sample.
