Abstract
A local coil of an MRI system includes at least one cascade output slot, at least one cascade input slot, and at least one RF switch. The at least one RF switch includes a first input signal interface, a second input signal interface, and at least one output signal interface. The first input signal interface is connected to the at least one cascade input slot, the second input signal interface is connected to an RF signal interface of the local coil, and the output signal interface is connected to the at least one cascade output slot. The at least one RF switch is configured to output signals received by the first input signal interface and the second input signal interface from the output signal interface separately.
