    摘要: A controller for an RF amplifier, in particular for a RF amplifier of an MR tomography apparatus, has an IQ control element for adjusting the magnitude and phase an RF signal that is be fed to the RF amplifier. The IQ control element has a signal splitter that splits the RF signal into two partial signals having a 90° phase offset in an I path and a Q path, each having a multiplier for multiplying the partial signal by an I factor in the I path and a Q factor in the Q path. A summing unit recombines the partial signals. A detector determines the actual phase difference and actual amplification between the RF signal fed to the IQ control element and the RF signal amplified by the RF amplifier. An IQ controller determines the I factor and the Q factor from the actual difference and a desired phase difference and the actual amplifier and a desired amplification. The IQ controller has an operating point at which the I factor and the Q factor are the same magnitude if the actual and desired phase differences and the actual and desired amplifications are the same.

    摘要: Circuit arrangement for the switchable amplification of variable electrical signals having at least one signal input and a signal output. A switchable amplifier is present between signal input and signal output and is provided with an input, with an output and with a negative feedback path having at least one resistor between input and output. The circuit arrangement further comprises a voltage source, the polarity of which can be reversed by a switching element. In this case, the negative feedback path has a switchable bypass connected in parallel with the at least one resistor. The signals fed in at the amplifier input are furthermore to be fed to the amplifier output in amplified fashion via a first signal path or in unamplified fashion via a second signal path depending on the polarity of the voltage source.

    摘要: A device for damping a standing wave on a waveguide carrying a signal is provided. The device includes at least one pair of an impedance-up-transforming and an impedance-down-transforming Boucherot bridge is connected into the waveguide. The two Boucherot bridges bring about locally increased impedances and inductance values, with the result that a significantly improved standing wave suppression or damping is obtained. The down-transforming Boucherot bridge is connected directly behind the up-transforming bridge, with the result that down-transformation to the original impedance of the waveguide again can be carried out and a signal reflection can thus be avoided.

    摘要: A preprocessing circuit for receive signals of a local coil in a magnetic resonance facility (1) includes an arrangement for supplying at least one auxiliary frequency signal of an auxiliary frequency. For at least one or the auxiliary frequency signal, a frequency multiplier generates the auxiliary frequency signal from an intermediate signal transmitted from a receive system of the magnetic resonance facility by way of a transmission link. The multiplier generates the auxiliary frequency signal with a frequency corresponding to a whole-number fraction of the auxiliary frequency.

    摘要: 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.
