An electrically conductive transmission cable for supplying a DC signal
safely to an electrical device in the presence of radio-frequency (RF)
fields in a magnetic resonance (MR) is disclosed herein. The transmission
cable comprises a transmission line (STL) comprising at least a first
segment (S1) and a second segment (S2), wherein the first and second
segments are electrically connected to each other by a reactive coupling
unit (103), and a rectifier unit (101) connected to the transmission line
and configured to extract the DC signal (203) from the modulated DC
signal (201). The extracted DC signal may be supplied to an electrical
device or used for cardiac pacing. The transmission cable finds
application in auxiliary devices used in an MR environment, for example
an interventional catheter with or without an active tracking circuit
(301).
