Abstract
A switch matrix, a switch matrix assembly, and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus are disclosed. The switch matrix includes a first path to which an electric signal is applied; a first switching unit configured to selectively and electrically interconnect a first input unit and a first end of the first path or to open the first end of the first path; and a second switching unit configured to selectively and electrically connect a second input unit to a second end of the first path or to open the second end of the first path.
Claims20
A switch matrix assembly, comprising:
- a free induction decay (FID) switch matrix having a first path through which a free induction decay (FID) electric signal is received and the electric signal is transmitted;
- a first switching unit configured to selectively and electrically one of interconnect a first input unit and a first end of the first path, and to open the first end of the first path;
- and
- a second switching unit configured to selectively and electrically one of interconnect a second input unit and a second end of the first path, and to open the second end of the first path,
- wherein the first switching unit is able to directly interconnect the first input unit and the first end of the first path, to open the first end of the first path, and to directly interconnect the first end of the first path to a first inductor, and is configured to selectively performs one of said actions.
A switch matrix assembly, comprising:
- a free induction decay (FID) electric signal matrix switching unit configured to receive at least one free induction decay (FID) electric signal from a first input unit and a second input unit;
- a first switch matrix configured to include a first path to which the electric signal is applied;
- a first switching unit configured to electrically one of interconnect and disconnect the matrix switching unit and a first end of the first path;
- a second matrix switch configured to include a second path to which the electric signal is applied;
- and
- a second switching unit configured to electrically one of interconnect the matrix switching unit and a first end of the second path and to open a second end of the second path,
- wherein the matrix switching unit selectively one of interconnects the first input unit and the first switching unit and interconnects the second input unit and the first switching unit,
- wherein the first switching unit is able to directly interconnect the first input unit and the first end of the first path, to open the first end of the first path, and to directly interconnect the first end of the first path to a first inductor, and is configured to selectively performs one of said actions.
