Abstract:
1. An antenna for a magnetic resonance device which has a predetermined sensitivity and is arranged for at least one of generating and receiving alternating magnetic fields in the near field of the antenna for at least one of exciting and detecting a magnetic resonance in an object to be examined, comprising: a strip line resonator which comprises at least one strip line constructed of a waveguide, wherein the strip line resonator extends along a planar reference surface and is resonantly tuned with an appropriate termination establishing a sensitivity profile of said strip line resonator, and a conductor loop arrangement which comprises a conductor, is disposed adjacent to the strip line resonator and forms at least one closed conductor loop establishing a sensitivity profile of said conductor loop arrangement, wherein the at least one closed conductor loop surrounds the strip line resonator in the planar reference surface and is interrupted by at least one capacitor, wherein the sensitivity of the antenna is formed by overlapped sensitivity profiles of the strip line resonator and the conductor loop arrangement, and wherein the at least one conductor loop is formed with a layered conductor.
