Patent Abstract

Coils and assemblies for magnetic resonance imaging or spectroscopy, and methods for generating or detecting magnetic fields with coils. The coil includes a first loop and a second loop. The first loop includes one or more capacitors. The second loop includes one or more capacitors. The second loop is connected to the first loop by a conductor. A total capacitance of the first loop is different from a total capacitance of the second loop.
