Single Passive Scatter Decoupling Technique For Ultra-High Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging Application

In this report, decoupling conditions between two dipole antennas, created by adding either a single passive dipole or single passive split-loop resonator (SLR), for ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are compared. In contrast to our previously reported work, the decoupling granted by the dipole is advantageous. We numerically and experimentally demonstrate that parasitic impact of the passive dipole on distributed magnetic field inside the phantom is smaller than that of the passive SLR.
