1. A method of manufacturing a coil array for use in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, comprising:
determining a normalized reflected power generated by coils in the coil array in response to excitation thereof via at least one excitation signal, wherein the coils of the first coil array collectively possess at least two excitation eigenmodes; and
adjusting one or more parameters of at least one of the coils so as to minimize the normalized reflected power for the at least two excitation eigenmodes, thereby arriving at design values for the parameters.
