    Abstract: An apparatus, a magnetic resonance imaging system, and a method of use are provided for a reception system for transmitting magnetic resonance signals from local coils to an image processing unit of a magnetic resonance imaging system. The apparatus includes an analog receiver for receiving and processing analog signals from the local coils that is configured to directly sample analog signals having different individual frequency bands and/or frequency band pairs, to distinguish the analog signals and to process them differently. The apparatus also includes an A/D converter for converting the processed analog signals from the local coils into digital signals. The apparatus further includes a digital signal processor for processing the digital signals, wherein the digital signal processor includes a Weaver unit and a downstream decimation filter unit.

    Abstract: A preprocessing circuit for receive signals of a local coil in a magnetic resonance facility (1) includes an arrangement for supplying at least one auxiliary frequency signal of an auxiliary frequency. For at least one or the auxiliary frequency signal, a frequency multiplier generates the auxiliary frequency signal from an intermediate signal transmitted from a receive system of the magnetic resonance facility by way of a transmission link. The multiplier generates the auxiliary frequency signal with a frequency corresponding to a whole-number fraction of the auxiliary frequency.

    Abstract: An arrangement for the transmission of magnetic resonance signals that are received with the aid of local coils is provided. The magnetic resonance signal is fed to an analog/digital converter and digitized by the analog/digital converter. The magnetic resonance signal is compressed in amplitude before being fed to the analog/digital converter, is low-pass filtered or band-pass filtered, and is expanded after digitization by the analog/digital converter. A clock rate that is higher by a factor 2n than a sampling rate n of the analog/digital converter (ADC) is used for the digital expander. A digital equalizing filter for compensating for a filter transmission function in a transition range may also be used.

    Abstract: A detuning apparatus for a receive coil for a magnetic resonance device includes a number of coil elements. The coil elements may be selectively connected to a receive channel of a data processing apparatus by way of a switching apparatus. Each of the coil elements includes at least one detuning assembly such as, for example, a PIN diode that may be switched between a detuning state and a receive state by way of a continuous switching signal. A controller is provided to switch the switching apparatus and to generate the switching signals. The detuning apparatus has first diplexers connected upstream of the switching apparatus for injecting switching signals for switching the detuning assembly for coil elements to be detuned dynamically. The detuning apparatus also includes detuning modules for each of the coil elements to switch the detuning assembly to the detuning state if there is no switching signal present.

    Abstract: In a magnetic resonance tomography local coil arrangement and a method for processing signals received thereby, at least one local coil is fashioned to receive at least one reception signal and at least one amplifier is provided that amplifies the at least one reception signal. A frequency converter generates at least one intermediate frequency signal from the at least one reception signal the intermediate frequency of the intermediate frequency signal differing from the reception signal frequency of each reception signal. An analog-digital converter converts the analog intermediate frequency signal into a digitized signal. A shielding device shields against at least radio-frequency signals, the shielding device surrounding at least the analog-digital converter. At least one frequency filter is arranged between the at least one local coil and the analog-digital converter, the frequency filter exhibiting a transmission range for signals with the intermediate frequency of an intermediate frequency signal. The digitized signal is transmitted from the local coil arrangement.
