Figure 12

(a) The proposed and (b) detailed MEMS-based reconfigurable endoluminal coil (swiM RE-Coil) architecture solution, which consists of four copper strips, four switches, three tuning capacitors, and two matching capacitors. (c) An example of MR switches, MEMS switch, which we propose and advice to use for this design. (d) The active decoupling state. (e) The DSL loop geometry formed by closing S1 and S2 switches and opening S3 and S4. (f) The RDL-OC geometry formed by opening S1 and S2 switches and closing S3 and S4.
