Abstract
This paper demonstrates four different radio frequency (RF) resonators at 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. An approach based on microstrip transmission line to identical RF resonators except upper stripline structure is investigated. Electromagnetic simulation results are compared for RF resonators and discussed in detail at 3 T.
