Reduced Peak Power Dualband VSS Pulse Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: Spectroscopic imaging based on conventional 3D PRESS localization is improved by using very selective suppression (VSS) pulses for outer volume suppression [1]. Cosine-modulated VSS pulses can be used to simultaneously suppress two parallel bands [2] but doubles the required peak RF amplitude. This abstract presents an efficient method for designing a dualband VSS pulse that requires only a √2 increase in peak RF amplitude.

Model Synthesis for Design of Switched Systems Using a Variable Structure System Formulation
A Variable Structure System (VSS) formulation and bond graph approach are used to develop a novel scheme for synthesizing reduced order models of switched systems. Switches are physical mechanisms that discontinuously redirect power, and switched systems employ switches for more efficient power conversion and/or to incorporate a control structure. A variety of power converters including electro...
متن کاملBinary Peak-power Multiplier and Its Application to Linear Accelerator Design*
The voltage gained by a charged particle traversing an accelerator section is proportional to the peak power into the section. Thus a high peak power results in high particle voltages in a relatively short distance, a practical requirement of high particle energy accelerators. Pulse compression is a means to obtain high peak power. This note describes a new method of pulse compression, the Bina...
متن کاملWavelet Domain Radiofrequency Pulse Design Applied to Magnetic Resonance Imaging
A new method for designing radiofrequency (RF) pulses with numerical optimization in the wavelet domain is presented. Numerical optimization may yield solutions that might otherwise have not been discovered with analytic techniques alone. Further, processing in the wavelet domain reduces the number of unknowns through compression properties inherent in wavelet transforms, providing a more tract...

متن کاملVERSE-guided numerical RF pulse design: a fast method for peak RF power control.
In parallel excitation, the computational speed of numerical radiofrequency (RF) pulse design methods is critical when subject dependencies and system nonidealities need to be incorporated on-the-fly. One important concern with optimization-based methods is high peak RF power exceeding hardware or safety limits. Hence, online controllability of the peak RF power is essential. Variable-rate sele...
