In
this work, we demonstrate a new circularly polarized (CP) volumetric coil
design for energy harvesting in a 1.5 T MRI scanner and evaluated its
performance at various locations along the B0 field axis inside the
bore and during the different MR pulse sequences.

harvesting coil and b) its circuit diagram.

harvested power at the same Vadj =180 V, with default FA and load
resistor 500 Ohm.
