Circularly Polarized RF Coils
This description applies to the following types of RF coils (examples):
- ▪
- Circularly polarized volume coils with active detuning, for example RF RES 400 1H 112/086 QSN TR AD.
- ▪
- Circularly polarized transceiver volume coils, for example RF RES 400 1H 075/040 QSN TR.
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.
Especially RF coils with active detuning are best to be tuned/matched while the separate receive-only coil and the sample is already in its final position inside the magnet.
- 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 (labeled T or M) of the first channel indicated by yellow rods and labelled “yellow” in the RF Interface Display.
- 4.
- Proceed the same way with the second channel indicated by green rods and labelled “green” in the RF Interface Display.
- 5.
- Stop the tune/match via the RF Interface Display or in ParaVision.
