Patent ID: 7385399

Claim:
A radio-frequency antenna arrangement for acquisition of a magnetic resonance signal, comprising: a radio-frequency antenna comprising two electrodes connected with each other via a discrete tuning device that tunes said radio-frequency antenna to a resonance frequency; said tuning device comprising a first tuning element that influences said resonant frequency of said radio-frequency antenna and a second tuning element that influences said resonance frequency of said radio-frequency antenna, said first and second tuning elements being connected in series and respectively functioning as inductors; and said radio-frequency antenna comprising two tap points at which a signal acquired by said radio-frequency antenna representing a magnetic resonance signal is tapped and conducted from said radio-frequency antenna via respective feed lines connected to said two tap points, the two tap points being respective between said electrodes and said first tuning element, and one of said tap points being between said first tuning element and said second tuning element.
