title: A hybrid bird cage resonator for sodium observation at 4.7 T.
abstract: A bird cage resonator operating at 52.9 MHz is described. The particularity of the presented design is due to fixed capacitors between conductors. Tuning is performed by adjusting a self-capacitance system without breaking the coil symmetry. This structure denoted as "hybrid" is suitable for biological lossy samples.
