    Abstract: A method and an RF transmit system for generating RF transmit signals for feeding an RF transmitter (14) in the form of, or comprising, one or more antenna device(s), coil(s), coil elements, or coil array(s) is disclosed. Furthermore, a multi-channel RF transmit system for feeding a plurality of such RF transmitters, especially for use as an RF excitation system in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system for exciting nuclear magnetic resonances (NMR) is disclosed. A demand RF transmit signal is compared in the digital domain with an RF transmit signal and digitally corrected with respect to differences or errors between both by means of a complex predistorter (11), an adaption unit (17) and a look-up table unit (18).

    Abstract: Dynamic adjustment of the receiver gain during an MRI scan. To account for magnitude and/or phase distortions introduced by the receiver that are not necessarily identical at various receiver gains, a reference rf signal is applied to the receive chain by an additional antenna. Preferably the reference signal is adjusted such that its frequency lies at the border of the frequency band detected by the MR scan. Comparing the a priori known amplitude and phase of the reference signal with the amplitude and phase of the received reference signal allows to determine the distortions introduced at the respective receiver gain which are subsequently corrected. In a further embodiment, the reference signal is used to synchronize the modulation and demodulation units of a wireless transceiver system.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for magnetic resonance imaging of a body (7) placed in a stationary and substantially homogeneous main magnetic field comprising a main magnet (2) for generation of a stationary and substantially homogeneous main magnetic field within the examination zone. In order to provide an MR device (1) which is arranged to allow for massive parallel imaging without extensive cabling between the individual receiving coils and the back end electronics, the invention proposes to make provision for a plurality of receiving units (10a, 10b, 10c) placed in or near the examination zone, which receiving units (10a, 10b, 10c) each comprise a receiving antenna (12a, 12b, 12c) for receiving MR signals from the body, a digitizing means (21a, 21b, 21c) for sampling the received MR signals and for transforming the signal samples into digital signals, and a transmitter (22a, 22b, 22c) for transmitting the digital signals to a central processing unit (13). Further, the device (1) comprises synchronization means (17) for synchronizing the operation of the individual digitizing means (21a, 21b, 21c) of the receiving units (10a, 10b, 10c).
