Description

This repository implements calculations for MRI receive coil matching networks to accompany the research article "Baluns for Preamplifier Decoupling of Radio-Frequency Receive Coils" by Rasmus Jepsen, Jan Henrik Ardenkjær-Larsen, and Vitaliy Zhurbenko (submitted). These matching networks provide noise matching, preamplifier decoupling and common-mode rejection. See the README.md file at the root of the repository for more information.
