The degenerate birdcage is not a common design for ultra-high field transmit array due to the technical difficulties in its construction, such as the interdependence of tuning and degeneracy on the value of capacitors. We present here a combination of an analytical theory, circuit simulations and numerical simulations to be used for an efficient design and construction of the degenerate birdcage at 7T. We demonstrate satisfactory performance in terms of decoupling, B1+ homogeneity and B1+ efficiency on the workbench and with scanner measurements on phantoms and human volunteers.
