In a method and device for field quality testing of a magnetic resonance
antenna arrangement of a magnetic resonance system composed of multiple
antenna elements, a test signal is fed into the respective antenna
elements by a transmission antenna and the test signal, or a noise signal
that occurs with no signal fed to the respective antenna elements, is
determined at a receiver unit for each of at least some of the individual
antenna elements. The noise received noise signals and/or test signals
are analyzed with regard to specific characteristic data and a quality
state of the magnetic resonance antenna arrangement is determined based
thereon.
