A surface resonator for use in a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus having a transversal fundamental magnetic field is composed of two sub-systems, each generating a magnetic field with the magnetic fields being perpendicular relative to each other. Each sub-system contains two current loops, both of which enclose the magnetic field allocated to them in the same plane. A circularly polarizing surface resonator is thus obtained for the transversal fundamental magnetic field.

A circularly polarizing RF antenna suitable for use in a magnetiic resonance imaging tomography apparatus has four current loops, each formed by two U-shaped conductors with the ends of the lateral legs of the U-shaped conductors disposed opposite to each other in mirror-symmetric fashion, and the ends of the lateral legs being bridged by a resonant capacitor. The current loops are arranged on a carrier which forms a portion of a hollow cylinder, and which is divided in an axial direction between two of the current loops, so that at least one of the current loops is removable without electrical contacts. A divisible RF antenna is thus achieved into which a head or a knee joint can be easily introduced for imaging.

An array device having a plurality of stacked circuit boards, each having a recess in a flat side thereof which extends parallel to a narrow side; the recess containing electronic components. Control lines for the electronic components are arranged on a flat side of the circuit board. Each circuit board has a narrow side which is provided with electrodes which are ordered as a matrix in rows and columns. The electrodes of the circuit boards are each associated with a respective switchable amplifier. The switchable amplifiers are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of a recess, and are connected by respective conductors having substantially equal lengths for coupling the switchable amplifiers to their respective electrodes. A plurality of main control lines are arranged on the narrow sides of the circuit boards for connecting the control lines of the switchable amplifiers in the same column to one another. Thus, the number of electrodes in each row can be increased without being required to be an integral multiple of the inputs of electronic modules.

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.

For broadband applications of a balun in a magnetic field, the balun includes at least three line transformers each having two transformer sides. At least two transformer sides of the balun that belong to different line transformers of the at least three line transformers are embodied for the same voltage drop at least in terms of magnitude. The at least two transformer sides of the balun are also embodied with an identical number of turns. Two transformer sides connected in parallel are replaced by a single coil, with the result that the balun may be produced from a five-wire structure.

摘要:
In a method and device for the transmission of a multiplicity of signals having different frequencies between a base station and a module situated at a location remote from the base station via a single, common cable connection, some of the signals being transmitted from the electronic assembly to the module and, in general simultaneously, the remaining signals are transmitted in the opposite direction. Each of the base station and the module has bandpass filter bank therein having a multiplicity of bandpass filters, the number thereof being a function of the number of channels to be transmitted, with which the respectively received signals are spectrally separated from one another so that they are available for further signal processing in the base station, or for further use in the module.
