Abstract
A circuit for detuning a resonator in a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging apparatus has an output connected to a terminal of the resonator via a high-frequency line composed of two conductors. The resonator is shortened at this terminal with a shorting capacitor that can be short-circuited for detuning the resonator. The length of the high-frequency line is shorter than one-fourth of the wavelength of a high-frequency signal having the operating frequency of the nuclear magnetic resonance imaging apparatus on the high-frequency line. For detuning the resonator the high-frequency line can be terminated at the output with a further capacitor, so that the high-frequency line acts as a short-circuit at the terminal.
