LaddSchematic of the body array showing four elements including the decoupling network for diagonally placed and head-on elements. Ce is used to set the correct current distribution on the element, Cp and Cs are the parallel and series capacitors of the matching network, and Cc and Zd are part of the decoupling network. The 180°-lines are used for balancing the feed; the 90° delay lines are used as part of the decoupling network. These lines are semi-rigid cables from Huber+Suhner AG, Herisau, Switzerland.
