Despite its impact on array coupling and design, especially for higher frequencies, capacitance between coils has not been studied quantitatively. The proposed capacitive coupling circuit model is shown to accurately predict simulated and measured impedance changes, as well as measured noise correlations. An important application is the reduction or elimination of both reactive and resistive coupling with appropriate adjustments of inter-element capacitance. This model includes mutual inductance and resistance, and quantifies the effect and amount of parasitic capacitive coupling.
