Abstract
The invention relates to a device () for magnetic resonance imaging of a body (), comprising a main magnet () for generation of a stationary and substantially homogeneous main magnetic field within the examination zone, a plurality of wireless receiving units () placed in or near the examination zone, and sampling means () operating at a variable sampling frequency for sampling the received MR signals and for converting them into digital signal samples. The invention proposes to make provision for energizing means () generating an RF energizing field within the examination zone for inductively supplying electric power to the wireless receiving units (), wherein the frequency of the RF energizing field is an integer multiple of the sampling frequency.
