    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: An arrangement includes a plurality of split ring resonators on a planar substrate. Each split ring resonator of the plurality of split ring resonators includes two mutually parallel ring structures of a metal conductor element spaced apart by the substrate. The two mutually parallel rings structures are respectively separated by at least one gap. At least two split ring resonators of the plurality of split ring resonators are positionable relative to one another such that the separated ring structures may be reciprocally guided through a gap of the respective other ring structures and interlock. Overlap regions may be produced by common ring structure inner surfaces.

    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.
