An arrangement for receiving and/or transmitting RF signals and for
feeding the same in a digital format between at least one RF antenna,
coil and/or sensor unit (A, B) and a signal processing unit (8), by means
of at least one digital cable (121, . . . 12n), especially for use in a
magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system is disclosed, wherein at least one
of the RF antenna, coil and/or sensor units (A, B) and at least one side
of the digital cables (121, . . . 12n) is provided with a digital signal
connector (10c, 11a; 121a, 121b, . . . 12na, 12nb) for separably
connecting both by plugging the connectors together. By transmitting the
RF signals in a digital format, especially in a digital optical format, a
plurality of digital cables (121, . . . 12n) with different lengths and
digital connectors (121a, 121b, . . . 12na, 12nb) can be used which need
not to be an inseparable part of the related RF antenna, coil or sensor,
so that a great flexibility is achieved with respect to positioning of
the RF antennas, coils and/or sensors for an examination, and a
disturbance-free transmission of the RF signals can be ensured as well.
