The embodiments relate to a method and a receiving system for an imaging magnetic resonance tomography system. The receiving system includes at least one multiplexer entity for a plurality of receive signals, which respectively come from an antenna of a local coil and may be switched to an analog-digital converter, wherein sampling rates (e.g., 20 MS/s per Ch, 40 MS/s per Ch, 80 MS/s per Ch) of an analog-digital converter for the sampling of a receive signal may be changed.
