Table 1.
Scattering matrix measurements show coil match and isolation. The triangular elements enabled local lumped element decoupling between nearest and next-nearest neighbors. No mechanism was installed to counteract distant-neighbor coupling. Values indicate mean ± standard deviation (maximum value).
