Abstract

A transmitting or receiving coil assembly for nuclear spin tomographs comprises a multi-layer structure of conducting layers forming inductive components on an insulating support layer. Discrete components such as capacitors are accommodated in recesses of the support layer. Reinforcement members make it possible to increase the mechanical stability of the arrangement.
