    摘要: A data rate controlling feedback loop evaluates an actual instantaneous available quality of service of a communication link for transmitting data and controls the data rate based on an evaluation result, Feedback control may both be local to a device for acquiring examination data, such as a magnetic resonance imaging coil, or over the communication link by reducing the data rate at least momentarily to fit the communication link's performance over time, enabling a graceful degradation of an image quality at lower data rates.

    摘要: A radio-frequency (RF) coil array for receiving magnetic resonance (MR) signals wherein the RF coil array (402) comprises at least one RF receive coil with an associated electronic circuit, a rechargeable electrical storage device arranged to supply electrical power to the associated electronic circuit, and a charging circuit arranged to charge the rechargeable electrical storage device, wherein the charging circuit includes a switching circuit (102SW1, 102SW2, 104SW1, 104SW2, 106SW1, 106SW2, 108SW1, 108SW2) configured to electrically isolate the charging circuit from the RF coil array at least when the RF receive coil is receiving MR signal. During a time period when the RF receive coil is not receiving MR signal and/or when another RF coil is not transmitting RF signals in the presence of the RF receive coil, the switching circuit switches the charging circuit to an ON state which enables the charging circuit to charge the rechargeable electrical storage device.

    摘要: A radio frequency antenna comprising a resonant pickup circuit (102) arranged to pick up a magnetic resonance signal, an analog-to-digital converter (105) arranged to convert the magnetic resonance signal to digital data, and a frequency converter arranged to convert a primary band of frequencies of the digital data. By upshifting the frequency of the transmitted bit-stream, it is possible to RF-trap the transmission channel (109) by simple high-pass filtering techniques. In case the transmitted bit pattern has frequency components that approach the resonance frequency, an encoding technique like Manchester encoding can be used to eliminate unwanted signals.
