Abstract
A general method of designing magnetic field gradient coils for NMR imaging is suggested and developed. The method utilises a combination of exact calculations for infinite continuous current sheets with a series expansion method to analyse finite discrete models of the continuous case. The method is applied to two orientations for coils on a cylindrical form resulting in improvements of existing gradient coil designs.
