Abstract
A method of designing a coil array for use in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system based on eigenmode analysis of a scattering matrix associated with the coil array is provided. The method includes determining a normalized reflected power generated by coils in the coil array in response to excitation thereof via at least one excitation signal, and adjusting one or more parameters of at least one of the coils so as to minimize the normalized reflected power.
