Abstract
In a local antenna arrangement for a magnetic resonance apparatus, an antenna structure is connected to a signal generator via an inhibiting circuit. The signal generator is fashioned to generate and emit a detection signal from the radio-frequency signal received from the antenna structure when the local antenna is not connected. The inhibiting circuit is fashioned to electrically decouple the signal generator from the antenna structure when the local antenna is connected.
