Abstract
For a radio frequency (RF) receiver system () for providing magnetic resonance (MR) information from an examination space of a MR imaging system, a solution for increasing the dynamic range of the radio frequency (RF) receiver system () for a better imaging performance shall be created. A sigma delta ADC of the RF receiver system operates in single-bit mode with an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit used to control the DAC feedback strength thereby extending the dynamic range of the receiver to match the MRI signal. The present invention also refers to a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system, a method A method for extending the dynamic range of a radio frequency (RF) receiver system, a software package for a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system, a software package for upgrading a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system and a computer program product.
