Optimal phased-array combination for spectroscopy.
A method for making weighted linear combinations of the spectra acquired by a phased-array coil is described. Unlike most previous combination methods, no special reference points in the data are chosen to represent the coil weights. Instead, all the data points are used, which results in optimal signal-to-noise ratio more reliable estimation. The method uses singular value decomposition to ide...
متن کاملSNR improvement of MR phased array spectroscopy signals
Introduction It is well known that surface coil arrays can increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) studies by performing a proper combination of the individual signals. Although it has been shown that electric and magnetic coupling mechanisms produce correlated noise in the coils [1], previous algorithms developed for MRS data combination have ignored t...
متن کاملPhased array antenna using MEMS phase shifter
This article presents a phased array antenna employing MEMS phase shifter. The proposed phased array antenna consists of eight square patch antennas operating at 10.4 GHz with a bandwidth of 400 MHz. Feed line for each patch passes through a MEMS phase shifter realized by a series of bridges above the transmission line. The distance between the bridge and the transmission line underneath it is ...
متن کاملPhased-Array Coils for MR Microscopy of the Skin in vivo
100 WORD ABSTRACT An RF receive-only phased-array coil for high-resolution in vivo imaging of human skin was developed. Simulations of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for various coil geometries—single loops and 2 and 3-element phased-arrays—were performed with respect to the special noise characteristics of small coils. The 2element phased-array coil was implemented. SNR measurements in a phantom ...
متن کاملFinite Difference Time Domain Simulation of Ultrasonic Phased Array Imaging
This paper reports the simulation of phased array ultrasonic wave propagation using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method to image crack like defects in Aluminum Blocks and Stainless Steel elbow sections. Inclined crack like defects have been considered for the simulation. Experiments were also performed on an Aluminum block with inclined embedded cracks various sizes in order to validate...
