    摘要: An arrangement includes a superconducting split ring resonator, a cryostat, and a copper coil. The resonator is arranged in the cryostat and includes at least one ring-shaped conductor made of a superconducting material and including an opening and a taper. The copper coil may be used to transmit a MRI excitation signal. This signal causes a current to be induced in the conductor that leads to the breakdown of the superconductivity. The conductor is detuned and therefore no longer develops an interfering effect. It is possible for the effect of the breakdown of superconductivity to be used for detuning in a targeted manner. After the transmission is complete, the conductor returns into the superconducting state and acts as a superconducting reception antenna for the MRI measurement signal. The copper coil is inductively coupled to the conductor and configured to read out the signal induced in the conductor.

    摘要: An antenna apparatus is described, for receiving magnetic resonance signals from an examination object during magnetic resonance imaging using a magnetic resonance device. The antenna apparatus includes a resonator with a plurality of electrically conductive conductor loops, which are each interrupted by a number of electrically insulating slits. The antenna apparatus further includes a carrier substrate for holding the conductor loops and a cable connection apparatus having a number of shielding apparatuses. At least one of the number of shielding apparatuses provides a conductive coupling to a virtual ground of at least one conductor loop. Moreover, an antenna array apparatus, a magnetic resonance system and a method for receiving magnetic resonance signals from an examination object during magnetic resonance imaging using a magnetic resonance device are described.

    摘要: A two port parametric amplifier has a first port that receives an input signal to be amplified and upconverted and a second port that receives a local oscillator signal. The amplified upconverted input signal is emitted as an output at upper and lower sideband frequencies. The amplifier further has a pair of varactor diodes connected between the first port and the second port. The diodes are connected in parallel from the first port and in series from the second port.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance tomography apparatus includes a receiving device having a number of magnetic resonance receive antennas for receiving a magnetic resonance signal in response to a radio frequency signal transmitted at a magnetic resonance frequency. A respective magnetic resonance receive antenna is connected to a parametric mixer. A receive circuit formed hereby is provided inside the cryostat and is coupled via a contactless communication interface to an evaluation circuit provided outside the cryostat. The evaluation circuit includes a local oscillator device for generating an auxiliary signal at an auxiliary frequency. The auxiliary signal is transmitted via the contactless communication interface to the receive circuit. The receive circuit is configured such that a mixed signal having a mixed frequency is generated via the parametric mixer from the auxiliary signal and the magnetic resonance signal and transmitted via the contactless communication interface to the evaluation circuit.

    摘要: A method for controlling a signal with a plurality of independent components is provided. The signal is fed as an input signal via an input path to a control path that supplies an output signal. The output signal is fed via an output path to a control apparatus controlling the input signal. A coupling signal is determined in a coupling determination apparatus. On the basis of the coupling signal, the independent components are decoupled in a decoupling apparatus, as a result of which, a decoupled output signal is generated. Components of the decoupled output signal are decoupled from the components of the input signal. The decoupled output signal is fed as a control variable to the control apparatus. The control apparatus controls each independent component separately on the basis of a desired signal with a diagonal controller and outputs the input signal as a manipulated variable.
