Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a local coil for a magnetic resonance scanner, which has a receiving antenna and a signal converter, and is coupled to a patient table by a signal line in terms of signal communication. The receiving antenna receives an analog magnetic resonance signal in a first signal frequency range, wherein the analog magnetic resonance signal is converted into a digital magnetic resonance signal by the signal converter and is frequency-shifted such that the digital magnetic resonance signal is shifted into a second signal frequency range that does not overlap with, and is preferably higher than, the first signal frequency range.
