Abstract
A method and system for designing a radio frequency (RF) coil assembly is disclosed herein. The designing scheme or tool includes determining a self inductance by solving analytically or numerically two-dimensional boundary value problems s. The scheme further includes determining at least one mutual inductance by solving analytically or numerically the two-dimensional boundary value problems. The ratio of the mutual inductance and the self inductance represents a magnetic coefficient of coupling of the RF coil assembly.
