A typical medical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contains a Local
transmit/receive coil. Magnetic coil design is very important in study of the
human brain and for neurological therapeutics technique. Precise spatial localization
of stimulation sites is the key of efficient functional magnetic stimulations.
Others have examined this issue at radio frequencies. This paper develops circular
coils, figure-of-8 coils and coil array elements in order to realize a
transcranial magnetic stimulator, and analyses the coil properties. The tests
are done here with the applied DC excitation. The results show that different
coils have different focus. The most important feature of these simulations is
the ability to expand it. With these tests, the procedure of construction is
determined. I simulate all procedures by MAXWELL 16.0.
