Abstract
A method for pre-distorting an exciter includes obtaining a characteristic curve of a radio frequency (RF) amplifier, obtaining a first relationship between a gain amplitude correction value and an input power and a second relationship between a gain phase correction value and the input power based on the characteristic curve, obtaining a transmission gain for use in a scan from a magnetic resonance pre-scan, and obtaining the gain amplitude correction value and the gain phase correction value of an input of the exciter based on the input of the exciter, the transmission gain, the first relationship, and the second relationship. An input of the exciter is pre-distorted using the gain amplitude correction value and the gain phase correction value.
