Abstract
A method for creating a module for controlling a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus antenna, the method including: determining magnetic field distribution mapping B; constructing a matrix {tilde over (B)} from the selection of a plurality of x*m points Bsuch that {tilde over (B)}−Bdetermining the singular vectors of the matrix {tilde over (B)} by singular value decomposition; and arranging a coupling means and/or phase-shifting means, forming said control module, such that a signal Sooutputted from the control module is a function of the equation with Sibeing the input signal.
