Abstract
A radio frequency coil includes an operative radio frequency circuit (') and a trap radio frequency circuit (′). The operative radio frequency circuit is tuned to a magnetic resonance frequency and is spatially configured to at least one of generate magnetic resonance in or receive magnetic resonance from a spatial region of interest. The trap radio frequency circuit is tuned to block a selected frequency and is disposed with the operative radio frequency circuit. The trap radio frequency circuit includes at least a generally linear transmission line () having a first end (′) at which the operative radio frequency circuit and the trap radio frequency circuit are coupled together and a second end () at which the generally linear transmission line is terminated with a termination impedance ().
