Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging system () includes a wireless communication station () which: receives via a receive antenna element () at least one first clock signal among two or more first clock signals which are synchronized with a first clock (); transmits two or more second clock signals from two or more transmit antenna elements (-) of a phased array antenna (); transmits data representing a sensed magnetic resonance signal from at least two of the transmit antenna elements; outputs a clock synchronization signal in response to the received first clock signal(s); and synchronizes a second clock () to the first clock signal in response to the clock synchronization signal. The first clock signals are transmitted by a phased array antenna () of another wireless communication station (). Phase and signal diversity transmission allows the first and second wireless communication stations to maintain clock synchronization in case of a loss of a line of sight path between the stations.
