Linearly Polarized RF Coils
This description applies to the following types of RF coils (examples):
- ▪
- linearly polarized (LIN) volume coils, for example RF RES 400 1H 089/060 LIN or
- ▪
- double resonant coils with the extension LIN/LIN in the item descriptionor
- ▪
- linearly polarized surface coils, for example RF SUC 400 1H ID 030 LIN
Although the coil can be tuned and matched inside or outside the magnet bore, it is recommended to tune/match the coil while it is already loaded with the sample and in its final position inside the magnet.
Tuning/matching instructions:
- 1.
- Connect the RF coil at the corresponding socket of the RF interface
- 2.
- Start the tune/match from ParaVision.
- 3.
- Adjust and optimize the tune and match condition using the tune and match knobs of the RF coil (labeled T or M)
- 4.
- Stop the tune/match via the RF Interface Display or in ParaVision.
