    摘要: A local coil for a magnetic resonance imaging system for acquisition of magnetic resonance signals includes a receiving mechanism for wireless transmission of operating energy of the local coil and/or a signal of the magnetic resonance imaging system. The receiving mechanism is configured to take the operating energy and/or the signal from a supply field. A magnetic resonance imaging system is also provided. The magnetic resonance imaging system includes a transmitting mechanism for wireless transmission of operating energy of a local coil and/or a signal of the magnetic resonance imaging system. The transmitting mechanism has a transmission signal generator that is connected to a field source and a field sink. The transmitting mechanism is constructed such that, in operation, the operating energy and/or the signal is transmitted by a supply field that is present as an electrical alternating voltage field between the field source and the field sink.

    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.
