WIRELESS LOCAL COIL ARRAY WITH LOW INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY

The invention is related to a local coil array for a magnetic resonance tomography unit, a magnetic resonance tomography unit and a system of local coil array and a magnetic resonance tomography unit. The local coil array provides a plurality of antenna coils for receiving magnetic resonance signals from a patient, a first frequency converter for converting the magnetic resonance signals to a first intermediate frequency and a plurality of transmission coils for transmitting the intermediate frequency signals by inductive coupling. The magnetic resonance tomography unit comprises a field of view and a plurality of reception coils for inductively coupling to transmission coils of the local coil array. The plurality of reception coils is arranged next to the field of view in such a way that the plurality of reception coils inductively couples with a plurality of transmission coils of the local coil array arranged at a patient in the field of view.
