A transmitting antenna for a magnetic resonance device includes a plurality of antenna conductors arranged spaced from one another circumferentially around a center line and extending parallel to the center line, and a screening element extending parallel to the center line and circumferentially encompassing the antenna conductors. For at least one pair of the antenna conductors, a radial distance between a first antenna conductor of the pair and the screening element is smaller than a radial distance between a second antenna conductor of the pair and the screening element, a width of the first antenna conductor is smaller in the circumferential direction than a width of the second antenna conductor in the circumferential direction, axial ends of the first antenna conductor are coupled together via a higher capacitance capacitor than axial ends of the second antenna conductor.
