Cross Coil Configurations
The most common cross coil configurations and the corresponding tune/match properties are listed in the following table:
Excitation coil | Detection coil | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Description | T/M | Description | T/M |
Volume Coil with active detuning | yes | Quadrature (circularly polarized) Surface Coil, with integrated pre-amplifier | no |
Volume Coil with active detuning | yes | Surface Array Coils, with integrated pre-amplifier | no |
Volume Coil with active detuning | yes | Linear Surface Coils, external pre-amplifier | yes |
Depending on the polarization of the coil, perform the tune/match process according to the coils described in section Linearly Polarized RF Coils or Circularly Polarized RF Coils. Before the tune/match process of the volume coil is started, make sure that the sample including the local receive coil is correctly installed and inside the volume coil.
