Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) coil array with multiple RF coil elements for a magnetic resonance examination system is disclosed. The decoupling of RF coil elements involves sets (pairs) of transformers and may also include geometrical overlap of adjacent coils. The mutual coupling between the transformers is adjustable. This provides additional degrees of freedom to fully decouple the RF coil elements from each other.
