US Patent 10031192 Antenna apparatus for receiving magnetic resonance signals

An antenna apparatus provides for receiving magnetic resonance signals from an examination object during magnetic resonance imaging using a magnetic resonance device. The antenna apparatus includes a resonator with a plurality of electrically conductive conductor loops, which are each interrupted by a number of electrically insulating slits. The antenna apparatus further includes a carrier substrate for holding the conductor loops and a cable connection apparatus having a number of shielding apparatuses. At least one of the number of shielding apparatuses provides a conductive coupling to a virtual ground of at least one conductor loop.
