Patent ID: 7215121

Claim:
A balun arrangement that is usable with a magnetic resonance apparatus at resonance comprising: a cable member having at least one first ground end and at least one second ground end; and at least one first capacitive element including a first terminal and a second terminal, said first capacitive element electrically coupled to said first ground end and second ground end, said cable member configured to have a predetermined large surface between the first ground end and the second ground end, wherein the surface dissipates a substantial quantity of heat from the cable member, and a mounting block having a groove, wherein the cable member comprises at least one bent portion, wherein the bent portion provides a predetermined large surface area for the cable member, and wherein the cable member is secured to the mounting block at the groove, with the mounting block being operable in order to maintain the cable member in a position predetermined to be substantially free from vibrations arising out of a high magnetic field when the balun arrangement is within a magnetic resonance apparatus at resonance.
