Abstract

The energy supply device for a signal pickup or signal generator for use in or at a magnetic resonance tomography device has a double layer capacitor of high capacitance and high power density. Charging of the double layer capacitor can occur via an integrated charging coil that derives charging energy from the high-frequency and/or gradient fields of the device.
