    摘要: An output stage module for a power amplifier device (e.g., for a power amplifier device of a transmit unit of a magnetic resonance device) includes a housing and a carrier that is arranged within the housing. The carrier is made of a non-electrically-conducting, thermally-conducting material with low electrical losses (e.g., a ceramic carrier). At least two transistor dies are arranged on the carrier. At least one transistor, in each case, is assigned to a phase of a symmetrical input signal. In and/or on the carrier, a first conductor structure connecting (e.g., inductively) a drain output of the at least two transistor dies to an output signal and to second conductor structures each conducting an input signal to at least one gate input of the at least two transistor dies are provided. At least one cooling channel routed adjacent to at least one transistor die of the at least two transistor dies is provided.

    摘要: A radio-frequency power amplifier is supplied by a voltage supply device. The voltage supply device has a voltage divider chain that is connected at the input side with a base potential and a ground voltage. The voltage divider chain has a number of Zener diodes connected in series, with which at least one capacitor is connected in parallel. Intermediate voltages that lie between the ground voltage and the base potential can be tapped at respective node points between each two immediately adjacent Zener diodes. A first supply input of the radio-frequency power amplifier is connected with the ground voltage. The voltage divider chain is connected with the radio-frequency power amplifier via a switching device. The switching device has a number of switching elements connected in parallel with one another, these switching elements being connected at the output side with a second supply input of the radio-frequency power amplifier. The base potential or one of the intermediate voltages is present at the input side of each switching element. The switching elements can be individually controlled by a control device, such that the second supply input can be selectively connected with the base potential and each of the intermediate voltages via the switching device.

    摘要: A generator device for a magnetic resonance excitation signal has a signal divider that divides an input signal supplied to it via an input element into at least two sub-signals and supplies them to amplification stages. The amplification stages amplify the respective sub-signals to produce amplified signals and supply the amplified signals to a signal combiner that combines them to form an aggregate signal, which is made externally available via an output element. Sensor devices that precede the signal divider and the signal combiner, acquire a reference signal that corresponds to the input signal and actual signals that correspond to the amplified signals and supply them to a control device. The control device acts on at least one of the amplification stages to cause the amplified signals to exhibit a predetermined amplitude ratio and a predetermined phase relation relative to one another.

    摘要: In a transmission arrangement for a magnetic resonance apparatus, a high-frequency input signal, via an input terminal is supplied to a high-frequency power amplifier. The amplifier amplifies the input signal with from a high-frequency output signal and supplies it to an antenna arrangement that emits it as a magnetic resonance excitation signal. Directional couplers are respectively connected between the input terminal and the amplifier and between the amplifier and the antenna arrangement. The acquired signals are supplied to an amplitude controller that drives an amplitude regulator preceding the high-frequency power amplifier.
