Abstract: An arrangement for transmitting magnetic resonance signals, with a transmission link that connects a local coil with a receiver, has a first channel of the local coil with a first single antenna to acquire a first magnetic resonance signal, as well as a first mixer connected with the first single antenna. The first mixer forms an intermediate-frequency first signal from the supplied first magnetic resonance signal. A second channel of the local coil has a second single antenna to acquire a second magnetic resonance signal, as well as a second mixer connected with the second single antenna. The second mixer forms an intermediate-frequency second signal from the supplied second magnetic resonance signal. The local coil has a device for signal combination that, by frequency multiplexing, that combines the intermediate-frequency first signal of the first channel and the intermediate-frequency second signal of the second channel so that it arrives at the receiver via the transmission path. The receiver has an A/D converter at which one of the transmitted intermediate-frequency signals of an associated channel arrives in order to be sampled with a sampling frequency for digitization. For frequency conversion, a first local oscillator frequency is connected at the first mixer and a second local oscillator frequency is connected at the second mixer. the first and second local oscillator frequencies are selected such that intermediate-frequencies formed by the frequency conversion are mirror-symmetrical relative to the sampling frequency of the A/D converter.

Abstract: An arrangement to transmit magnetic resonance signals has at least two reception branches. Each reception branch contains a single antenna of a local coil as well as an amplifier connected with the single antenna, such that an amplified magnetic resonance signal is formed from a magnetic resonance signal that is acquired via the single antenna. In a multiplexer, each input is connected with a respective reception branch, such that the amplified magnetic resonance signals of the reception branch are combined by the multiplexer into a resulting signal using a time multiplexing method. A transmission path is connected on one side with an output of the multiplexer and on the other side with a receiver, such that the resulting signal is transmitted from the multiplexer to the receiver via the transmission path.

The apparatus includes a modified Boucherot bridge having a series or parallel oscillating circuit that replaces inductive or capacitive components of a conventional Boucherot bridge, such that the modified Boucherot bridge is in the harmonized state with the image frequency to be faded out and has a predetermined impedance with the nominal frequency on its symmetrical output terminals. The nominal frequency has a predetermined impedance on its symmetrical output terminals. The nominal frequency is transmitted as a signal balanced to ground to the symmetrical output terminals of the modified Boucherot bridge.

Abstract: Front bandpass filters that are essentially transmissive only between a minimum frequency and a maximum frequency filter the magnetic resonance signals. Front frequency mixers mix output signals of each of the bandpass filters with a front LO frequency that is standard for all the magnetic resonance signals. Rear bandpass filters that are essentially transmissive only around a front intermediate frequency filter the output signals of the front frequency mixers. Rear frequency mixers mix output signals of each of the rear bandpass filters with a respective constant rear LO frequency. Frequency filters that are transmissive for frequencies in the range of the difference of the rear LO frequency that is supplied to the rear frequency mixer arranged upstream thereof and the front intermediate frequency filter the output signals of the rear frequency mixers. Output signals of the frequency filters are combined into a common signal, which is transmitted onward.
