Here
we present simulated and experimental results combining an array of counter
rotating current (CRC) surface coils and a TEM volume coil in transmission.
The combination provides better homogeneity than the TEM alone for
excitation, and simulated results are in good agreement with experiment for
combining a 4-element array with the TEM. Further simulation shows a much
improved result for increasing the number of CRC coils in the array to 8.
