Abstract: The systems and methods of the present disclosure address the problem of up-sampling an insufficiently sampled signal of numbers or images that does not yield interpretable data. A computing device may acquire from a sensor, a reference signal and a quasi-periodic signal of a subject over a predefined time period. The reference signal may have a fixed sampling rate. The quasi-periodic signal may have a variable sampling rate. The computing device may filter, using a band-pass filter, the reference signal to obtain a monocomponent signal. The computing device may determine, by applying a Hilbert transform on the monocomponent signal, an analytic phase. The computing device may generate a phase projected signal from the quasi-periodic signal based on the analytic phase. The phase projected signal may have a plurality of data points of the quasi-periodic signal across the predefined time period mapped to a predefined phase interval.

Abstract: A high-pass two-dimensional ladder network has been described for high-field MRI and credential applications. The next-to-highest eigenvalue of the network corresponds to a normal mode giving rise to B1 fields with good spatial homogeneity above the resonator plane. Other eigenvalues may also be used for specific imaging applications. In its most basic form, the ladder network is a collection of inductively coupled resonators where each element of the array is represented by at least one conducting strip having a self-inductance L, joined by a capacitor C at one or more points along each resonator. In the strong coupling limit of the inductively coupled high-pass two-dimensional ladder network resonator array, the array produces a high-frequency resonant mode that can be used to generate the traditional quadrature B1 field used in magnetic resonance imaging, and in the limit of weak or zero coupling reduces to a phased array suitable for parallel imaging applications.
