Magnetic-resonance transceiver-phased array that compensates for reactive and resistive components of mutual impedance between array elements and circuit and method thereof

A transceiver phased array for a magnetic-resonance system, the transceiver phased array comprising:

• a plurality of array elements configured to interact with a sample, the plurality of array elements including a pair of adjacent array elements configured for simultaneous transmission and reception, the pair of adjacent array elements having cross-talk characterized as a mutual impedance therebetween comprising resistive and reactive components;
• and
• a resonant inductive decoupling circuit configured to inductively couple to the pair of adjacent array elements, the resonant inductive coupling circuit configured to compensate for both the reactive and resistive components of the mutual impedance between the adjacent pair of array elements during transmission and reception.

A high-field multi-element multi-row magnetic-resonance transceiver-phased array comprising:

• a plurality of array elements forming a first row of array elements and a second row of array elements, each array element having at least one adjacent array element having mutual impedance therebetween;
• and
• a plurality of resonant inductive decoupling circuits inductively coupled between pairs of adjacent array elements, each resonant inductive decoupling circuit configured to inductively couple to the pair of adjacent array elements and compensate for both the reactive and resistive components of the mutual impedance between the adjacent pair of array elements during transmission and reception.
