Mutual coupling is a long-standing and critical issue
that affects the performance of parallel transmit
arrays. Here, we implement a frequency selective surface
method to decouple array elements that helps realize the
benefits of RF shimming and pulse shaping algorithms,
while also increasing array transmit efficiency.
