Decoupling issue is a challenging problem in transceiver
array designs at high fields. The Non-resonance RF
method (NORM) using traveling wave provides a promising
way to alleviate this problem and also has
multi-frequency excitation and reception capability. In
this work, a 16-element transceiver NORM array for 7T
human head imaging is modeled and simulated using FDTD
method. The unmatched decoupling and excellent g-factors
were achieved, indicating the feasibility of parallel
imaging using the proposed NORM array. The same NORM
array is able to perform multinuclear excitation and
detection, such as C13 and P31, which is verified by
FDTD simulation.
