Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A transmission apparatus for transmitting an intermediate frequency signal and an oscillator signal for mixing down the intermediate frequency signal, a magnetic resonance tomograph with a local coil, a receive unit, and a transmission apparatus are provided. The transmission apparatus has a symmetrical transmission line for transmission of the oscillator signal and the intermediate frequency signal and a symmetrizing element for adaptation of an unsymmetrical signal source and/or signal sink to the symmetrical transmission line. The symmetrizing element has only ferrite-free inductances. The local coil and the receive unit are connected for signaling purposes via the transmission apparatus.

Abstract: A method for the control of a magnetic resonance system is provided. In a test phase before a magnetic resonance measurement, a test high-frequency pulse with several parallel individual high-frequency pulses is transmitted with a transmitter antenna arrangement over various different high-frequency transmitter channels. At lower transmitter power, the test high-frequency pulse generates essentially the same field distribution as an excitation high-frequency pulse to be transmitted during a subsequent magnetic resonance measurement. A high-frequency field generated by this test high-frequency pulse is measured in at least one area of a local pulse arrangement, and on the basis of the high-frequency field measured, a high-frequency field value that is to be anticipated at the local coil arrangement during the subsequent magnetic resonance measurement is determined. The control of the magnetic resonance system during a later magnetic resonance measurement includes taking the high-frequency field value into account.
