    A novel four-coil design significantly reduces power consumption for axial magnetic field gradients, offering comparable linearity to traditional Maxwell pairs. This innovation is particularly beneficial for nuclear magnetic resonance imaging applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Physics
    • Engineering
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Conventional Maxwell pairs are widely used for generating axial magnetic field gradients.
    • High power consumption is a significant drawback of Maxwell pair designs.
    • Maintaining field linearity is crucial for applications like nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new, power-efficient four-coil design for axial magnetic field gradients.
    • To compare the performance and power requirements of the new design against conventional Maxwell pairs.
    • To provide a practical design tool for implementing the new coil configuration.

    Main Methods:

    • A four-coil configuration was designed to generate an axial magnetic field gradient.
    • Coil dimensions were determined using a proposed design tool with characteristic curves.

    • Switching power was reduced significantly, by a factor of 15.
    • The proposed design tool simplifies the implementation of the new gradient system.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel four-coil axial magnetic field gradient design offers a more power-efficient alternative to Maxwell pairs.
    • This design maintains excellent field linearity, making it suitable for demanding applications such as NMR imaging.
    • The developed design tool facilitates practical implementation and adoption of this technology.
