Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) device for receiving or exciting a magnetic resonance (MR) signal includes an MR coil () tuned to an MR frequency band, a digital signal processing chain () at least partly tuned to operate at baseband, an analog signal processing chain () operatively connected with the MR coil and at least partly tuned to operate at the MR frequency band, and an analog to digital (A/D) or digital-to-analog (D/A) converter () connecting the digital signal processing chain and the analog signal processing chain. The analog signal processing chain includes an analog dispersive delay line () tuned to impose a frequency-dependent signal delay () that is monotonically increasing or monotonically decreasing over the MR frequency band. In more specific embodiments, the RF device may comprise an MR transmit chain (), or an MR receive chain ().
