Multilayer Microstrip Forms Tunable Bandstop Filters
Tunable bandstop filters are useful for a wide range of applications in eliminating unwanted signals and interference. Designing such filters can be greatly simplified with a new structure fabricated on multilayer microstrip substrates with a metallic diaphragm. This new structure overcomes the limitations of traditional tunable bandstop filter designs and supports simple, low-cost manufacturing processes.1 The new tunable filter...

Analyzing A Resonator For MRI Applications
Magnetic-resonance-imaging (MRI) systems can produce high-resolution images of cross sections of human bodies, proving to be invaluable for medical diagnostics. An important component in an MRI system is the RF probe used to emit a uniform RF magnetic field over the section of the human body under investigation and needed to receive the magnetic-resonance signals from the body for constructing high-quality images. What follows is an electromagnetic ...

Sliced Coaxial Cables Form Compact Couplers
Coupled sliced coaxial cables can provide signal coupling in a compact form factor for 50and 75-W systems. With the ready availability of accurate computer-aided-engineering (CAE) tools, it is possible to apply some basic formulas for calculating the dimensions of these structures to achieve a desired amount of coupling on different substrate materials. What follows is a straightforward approach to calculating those dimensions and analyzing coupler designs fabricated with coupled...

Design Coupled Microstrip Resonators For MRI
Magnetic-resonance-imaging (MRI) systems for medical and scientific applications require a high-performance, high-power inductor capable of establishing a uniformly strong magnetic field. The transverse-electromagnetic (TEM) resonator1 has received a great deal of attention recently as a superior replacement for standard birdcage coils2 in MRI applications requiring magnetic field levels of 4.7 to 9.4 T. For example, at operating frequencies of 200...
