A system and method for radio-frequency (RF) field mapping are provided. One method includes encoding a B1 phase in at least one magnetic resonance (MR) excitation pulse as an encoded B1 phase MR excitation pulse for at least a subset of a plurality of transmit channels within a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. The method also includes encoding a B1 magnitude in at least one off-resonance MR pulse as an encoded B1 magnitude off-resonance MR pulse for at least a subset of the plurality of transmit channels within the MRI system. The method further includes determining one or more composite B1 fields resulting from a transmission of the at least one encoded B1 phase MR excitation pulse and the at least one encoded B1 magnitude off-resonance MR pulse.
