Abstract
The present invention relates to magnetic resonance imaging system and to a direct digital receiver () for an RF coil (D, D), in particular of a magnetic resonance imaging system. To obtain that the sampling frequency of an analog-to-digital converter () of the digital receiver can be chosen independently of the digital operating frequency at which the subsequent digital down converter (), which particularly includes a demodulator (), operates, a resampling unit () is introduced which is coupled between said analog-to-digital converter and said digital down converter for resampling a first digital sample signal at said sampling frequency to a second digital sample signal at said digital operating frequency.
