In this work, we demonstrate a new RF-coil for 7 Tesla ultrahigh field MRI with two orthogonal channels to achieve better SAR and SNR of images. The first phase of the work involves numerical study of different multimode structures consisting of coupled electrical dipoles to form a radiofrequency coil that may operate both as a surface loop [1] or a single radiative electrical dipole [2] depending on the driven channel.
