A radio-frequency (RF) resonator system, in particular, for an NMR
(nuclear magnetic resonance) probe head, with at least one RF resonator
which comprises at least three non-interrupted conducting elements (21;
54, 56, 58; 75, 76; 91-94; 111a-111d; 131, 132a-132b; 169a-169f) which
form at least one window (57; 77a; 124, 124a) in the RF resonator,
wherein only part of the conducting elements delimits the at least one
window, wherein the conducting elements are coupled through
electromagnetic fields, wherein each conducting element has a limiting
current density, is characterized in that the eigen-resonances of the
individual conducting elements and/or the electromagnetic coupling
between the conducting elements is/are selected such that upon excitation
of the RF resonator system, the maxima of the quotient values along the
individual conducting elements are substantially equal for all conducting
elements, wherein these quotient values are defined as a quotient between
an average current density which occurs in a cross-section of the
conducting elements and the respective local limiting current density, or
in that peak-shaped current excesses (143a-143f) which may occur mainly
in the edge region of packets of conducting elements (131, 132a, 132b),
in particular, at the edge of windows (124, 124a) along individual
conducting elements (132a, 132b) or along conductor groups of several
conducting elements (132a, 132b) are substantially eliminated. The RF
resonator system thereby allows large RF magnetic field strengths.
