Abstract
Various methods and systems are provided for a flexible, lightweight, and low-cost radio frequency (RF) coil of a magnetic resonance imaging (MM) system with reduced power dissipation during decoupling. In one example, the RF coil includes a loop portion with distributed capacitance which comprises two conductor wires encapsulated and separated by a dielectric material and a feed board including a decoupling circuit configured to decouple the distributed capacitance of the loop portion during a transmit operation, an impedance inverter circuit, and a pre-amplifier.
