Abstract
A quadrature surface probe comprising two individual mirror image coil loops arranged so that the magnetic field vectors of the respective coil loops are substantially perpendicular. An area of overlap between the first and second coil loops is adjusted to minimize the mutual coupling between the individual coils. Also disclosed is the method of manufacturing the quadrature surface probe.
