Abstract
A surface coil for magnetic resonance examinations is formed by two longitudinal conductors and a plurality of transverse conductors which interconnect the longitudinal conductors in a plane. A coupling device couples the coil to an RF transmitter or an RF receiver. An RF magnetic field is produced by the coil parallel to the plane defined by the transverse conductors. The transverse conductors each include at least one capacitor. One of the two outer transverse conductors forms a part of the coupling device. The conductors and the capacitors are proportioned and have values so that the current through the outer transverse conductor forming a part of the coupling device is uniformly distributed between the other transverse conductors.
