The crossbar-type matrix creates open-stubs of varying length, depending on the switch configuration, which potentially degrades the MR image quality. However, this issue can be overcome efficiently with the use of a compensation circuit. But as the number of receive coils increases, a larger number of RF switches is required. In this study, we propose a miniaturised crossbar switch matrix which employs two independent, stacked boards.
