Abstract

An antenna system for the reception of magnetic resonance signals has at least two resonant individual antennas. The individual antennas are connected to a pre-amplifier via a combination circuit. The combination circuit is fashioned such that signal contributions that can be emitted by the individual antennas exhibit a phase difference of 0° or 180° at the pre-amplifier.
