The parasitic element is reactive loaded. Four different cases of reactive loads are considered: capacitive load, inductive load, open circuited, and short-circuited loads are considered. The idea behind this technique is to reduce or even eliminate the effect of mutual coupling between the RF coil elements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)system. Two rectangular loops are used to compose a planar phased array. This structure is designed and optimized in CST at the Larmor frequency of 298.3 MHz corresponding to the 7 Tesla MRI system.}, number={3}, journal={Majlesi Journal of Electrical Engineering}, publisher={OICC Press}, author={Salama, Sanaa and Abuelhaija, Ashraf and Baldawi, Tareq and Issa, Samer}, year={2024}, month={Feb.}, keywords={Decoupling Network (DN), Matching Network (MN), Parasitic-Element, Capacitive & Inductive Load, Open and Short-Circuited Load.} }
