Abstract
For increasing the sensitivity of an MR apparatus when measuring comparatively high frequencies, the radio frequency excitation measurement coil (10, 30) is divided into two individual symmetrically drivable and readable coil halves (32, 34), respectively. The mutual connection of central connections of the coil halves can be realized by means of a balun (54) but for this purpose any other symmetrical form of coupling, for example using a strip-line transformer (70) or suitably dimensioned coaxial cables (60, 62) may alternatively be used.
