✦ Synopsis

Communicated by G. F. Roach

The authors consider the optimization of the signal-to-noise ratio of an arbitrary cylindrical antenna array. Existence of an optimal solution and convergence of finite-dimensional approximations is shown. The necessary optimality conditions are used to compute optimal solutions for some numerical examples.

L'(l-1 and C(S) are equipped with their canonical norms.

## Abstract Measuring signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) for parallel MRI reconstructions is difficult due to spatially dependent noise amplification. Existing approaches for measuring parallel MRI SNR are limited because they are not applicable to all reconstructions, require significant computation time
