An MRI apparatus includes: an RF coil to which analog RF pulse signals are applied; an RF pulse generating circuit which generates said analog RF pulse signals; and a magnetic resonance signal receiving circuit which receives analog magnetic resonance signals and converts these signals into baseband digital magnetic resonance signals, said RF pulse generating circuit comprising: a carrier signal generator which generates a digital carrier signal having a predetermined number of bits; a digital modulator which modulates said digital carrier signal with a digital envelope signal, thus generating digital RF pulse signals; a digital-analog converter which converts said digital RF pulse signals into the analog RF pulse signals; and an inversion unit which generates a digital inverted carrier signal having a two's complement relationship with said digital carrier signal and sends the digital inverted carrier signal to said magnetic resonance signal receiving circuit, said magnetic resonance signal receiving circuit comprising: an analog-digital converter which converts the analog magnetic resonance signals into digital magnetic resonance signals having a predetermined number of bits; and a digital demodulator which demodulates said digital magnetic resonance signals with said digital inverted carrier signal, thus converting these signals into the baseband digital magnetic resonance signals.
