Abstract :
The conditions for zeroing the mutual flux between two closely spaced coil antennas are examined. The analysis is expanded to examine the case of multiple linear antenna coils. Array antennas are used in many areas including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Theoretical and experimental results are presented and compared. Good agreement between theory and measurements has been confirmed. A two-dimensional receiving array antenna is proposed
