A transmit antenna selector includes a control circuit, a body coil signal output interface, a local coil signal output interface, a radio-frequency signal input interface, and a dummy load. The control circuit includes a plurality of diodes. The control circuit electrically connects, according to a control signal and via the plurality of diodes, the radio-frequency signal input interface with the body coil signal output interface, with the local coil signal output interface, or with the dummy load.

Transmit antenna selector and magnetic resonance imaging system

A directional coupler includes a first conductive track, a second conductive track, and a conductive structure. The conductive structure includes a first partial region that is arranged nearer to the first conductive track than the first conductive track is to the second conductive track. The conductive structure also includes a second partial region that is arranged nearer to the second conductive track than the first conductive track is to the second conductive track.

Directional coupler

In a device and method to install a coil in a circuit, the coil is installed on a substrate and the inductance value of the coil installed on the substrate is adjusted with a test circuit board. The substrate is then installed in the circuit. This enables an efficient installation of the coil.
