Abstract:
1. An antenna configuration, designed as a phase-controlled array for use in a magnetic resonance apparatus, the antenna configuration comprising: a support body; a first antenna module, said first antenna module comprising at least one first conductor loop, at least one first tuning network and at least one first matching network, said first tuning network having at least one first tuning capacitance and said first matching network having at least one first matching capacitance, wherein said first antenna module is mounted to said support body to be removable therefrom in a non-destructive fashion; a second antenna module, said second antenna module comprising at least one second conductor loop, at least one second tuning network and at least one second matching network, said second tuning network having at least one second tuning capacitance and said second matching network having at least one second matching capacitance, wherein said second antenna module is mounted to said support body to be removable therefrom in a non-destructive fashion; and decoupling elements disposed between and connecting said first antenna module and said second antenna module, wherein said decoupling elements are mounted to said support body in an undetachable fashion.
