This paper presents a small and complete set of analytic equalength show that the model calculations can usefully predict tions which can be used to design a birdcage coil and predict its birdcage performance, can aid in choosing dimensions and resonant modes a priori before construction begins.

This paper presents the theory of the quadrature birdcage coil wound on an elliptic cylindrical former. A conformal transformation of the ellipse to a circular geometry is used to derive the optimal sampling of the continuous surface current distribution to produce uniform magnetic fields within an
## Abstract Sensitivity enhancement by the use of inductively coupled milliβ and microcoils has been demonstrated in solidβstate as well as liquidβstate NMR. In this work, we discuss the practical aspects of using inductively coupled solenoid coils of different sizes in a liquidβstate NMR spectrome
## Abstract A mathematical model is developed for the numerical analysis of birdcage coils constructed using capacitors having different capacitance. With the aid of this model, it is shown that the deviation of some capacitance introduced by tune, balance, and drive mechanisms can cause inhomogene
## Abstract The use of detached endcaps for 3 T birdcage coils was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Finite difference time domain analysis, along with workbench and MRI techniques, were used to map the radiofrequency (RF) __B__~1~ distribution along the coil axis with and without
A technique was developed to change the resonant frequency of a rotating field birdcage coil from 19F resonance (76.14 MHz) to 1H resonance (80.92 MHz). This was done by inserting an additional shield with a smaller radius on the coil which resonates at 19F. It was shown that the inhomogeneity intro
