Abstract
An antenna for a magnetic resonance apparatus has an antenna conductor that can be adapted to examination regions of different sizes, with one region of the antenna conductor divided into conductor sections. The conductor sections are connected to one another via capacitive elements, with the conductor sections and the capacitive elements connected alternating in series. The conductor sections are connectable to the remaining antenna conductor via releasable electrical connections.
