				 Study of human pathologies and acquisition of anatomical images without any surgical intervention inside human body is possible because of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This work exploits the notable properties of zero permeability (0 μ) split ring resonators (SRR) metamaterial (MM) magnetic polarizer which could distort, control and reject uniform RF (radio frequency) magnetic field for 1.5-T MRI systems. Unique polarizer was proposed to etch on PCB (printed circuit board) slabs for compact thickness of 5 mm only. In addition, polarizer was loaded with novel combination of parametric elements (capacitors, inductors) which could made the structure tunable to achieve resonance at different working frequencies. We achieved the value of relative permeability, μr=0.02+j0.1 for 1.5-T MRI systems at 63.85 MHz. Furthermore polarizer, when u.. Read More»
