    Abstract: An antenna structure for exciting a substantially homogeneous magnetic RF field and/or for receiving RF signals in a nuclear magnetic resonance tomography apparatus includes a hollow cylindrical conductor sheath which is substantially transmissive at low frequencies for gradient magnetic fields, a number of conductor units within the conductor sheath, each conductor unit including at least one conductor element, and RF reflector disposed at the end faces of the antenna structure and an external energy feed or reception device. In this antenna structure, the current drop which increasingly occurs toward the end faces of the antenna structure is largely compensatable by shaping the electrically conductive cross-section of the conductor units so as to decrease symmetrically from an axial center of the antenna structure moving toward the end faces of the structure. The conductor units thus have a largest cross-section at a center of the antenna structure, and a smallest cross-section at the end faces.

    Abstract: A transmitting apparatus for transmitting a frequency-modulated signal is provided. The transmitting apparatus includes a pilot tone generation device for generating a pilot tone. The transmitting apparatus also includes a modulation device for obtaining the generated pilot tone and a modulating useful signal and for generating a frequency-modulated signal based on a combination of the generated pilot tone and the modulating useful signal. The generated pilot tone has a frequency outside a frequency range of the modulating useful signal in order to vary a frequency range of the frequency-modulated signal.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: For broadband applications of a balun in a magnetic field, the balun includes at least three line transformers each having two transformer sides. At least two transformer sides of the balun that belong to different line transformers of the at least three line transformers are embodied for the same voltage drop at least in terms of magnitude. The at least two transformer sides of the balun are also embodied with an identical number of turns. Two transformer sides connected in parallel are replaced by a single coil, with the result that the balun may be produced from a five-wire structure.

    Abstract: In a method and device for the transmission of a multiplicity of signals having different frequencies between a base station and a module situated at a location remote from the base station via a single, common cable connection, some of the signals being transmitted from the electronic assembly to the module and, in general simultaneously, the remaining signals are transmitted in the opposite direction. Each of the base station and the module has bandpass filter bank therein having a multiplicity of bandpass filters, the number thereof being a function of the number of channels to be transmitted, with which the respectively received signals are spectrally separated from one another so that they are available for further signal processing in the base station, or for further use in the module.
