Abstract
An MR device has at least one distribution network for distributing an electrical input signal (to a number of feeding points of an MR antenna. The distribution network has at least one first signal output and one second signal output connected to a node, a first phase-shifting element disposed between the node and the first signal output, and a second phase-shifting element disposed between the node and the second signal output. The first phase-shifting element and the second phase-shifting element create a different phase shift, and the first phase-shifting element and the second phase-shifting element are embodied as electrical lines of different length. The distribution network is applicable, for example, to feeding signals to a body coil of the MR device, especially a so-called birdcage antenna.
