  • Antenna array, in particular for magnetic resonance imaging, comprising linear electromagnetic resonators and at least one decoupling device
    Patent number: 10788549
    Abstract: An antenna array includes a plurality of linear electromagnetic resonators having longitudinal axes oriented parallel to one another and not aligned, and at least one decoupling device arranged between two the linear electromagnetic resonators, wherein the decoupling device comprises a plurality of open-loop electromagnetic resonators that are matched to a frequency located in the bandwidth of the two the adjacent linear electromagnetic resonators, that are electrically insulated and that are arranged in a plurality of planes that are not parallel to a plane containing the longitudinal axes of the two the linear electromagnetic resonators. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising such an antenna array is also provided.
