Asset Details

  • Description:
  • Diagram of RF‐shim coil element (9.5‐cm diameter) with conventional RF components shown in black. The components in red add shimming functionality to the coil. Toroidal chokes (inset photo at right) pass shim current in and out of the loop and bridge the distributed RF capacitors and safety fuse. A blocking capacitor, C7, is added near one of the feed points to contain the shim current within the loop. As in a conventional receive coil, detuning is achieved when inductor L forms a parallel LC blocking circuit with capacitor C3 when the PIN diode D is turned on. Capacitor C4 transforms the coil impedance to 50 Ω. (Values: C1 = 32 pF, C2 = C3 = 33 pF, C4 = 11 pF, C5 = C7 = 1 nF, C6 = 27 pF, L = 48 nH, LRFC = 3.3 μH, LSC = 1 μH). RF, radio frequency.
