Abstract:
An arrangement for detuning a receive antenna, a detunable magnetic resonance coil, and a magnetic resonance device having a detunable magnetic resonance coil are provided. The arrangement includes a receive antenna having at least one first capacitance, wherein radiofrequency signals from a magnetic resonance examination may be received by way of the receive antenna. The arrangement furthermore includes a switchable detuning circuit containing the first capacitance switched to form an oscillating circuit and a first inductance, and a switching device having a first and a second connection point to deliver a voltage between the first and a second connection point, and one or more transistors. The switching device switches the oscillating circuit to a high impedance level with aid of the one or more transistors on delivery of a positive voltage to the first connection point, preventing a radiofrequency signal from being received by way of the receive antenna.
