1. A control apparatus for an antenna, comprising:
- an amplifier having an input supplied with a radio-frequency transmission signal that is amplified in said amplifier, said amplifier having an amplifier output at which the amplified radio-frequency transmission signal is emitted;
an antenna arrangement comprising at least one antenna element configured to emit the amplified radio-frequency transmission signal in a magnetic resonance apparatus;
said antenna element comprises an infeed point with two terminals connected to said amplifier output to receive said amplified radio-frequency transmission signal therefrom; and
said antenna element comprising, at said infeed point, a mounting surface on which said amplifier is mounted.

Abstract
An apparatus to control an antenna arrangement in a magnetic resonance apparatus has an amplifier with an input connected to a radio-frequency transmission signal to be amplified. The antenna arrangement has at least one antenna element for emission of the amplified transmission signal. The antenna element has an infeed point with two terminals, wherein the amplified transmission signal is connected at the terminals. The amplifier is connected on the output side with two terminals of the infeed point. The antenna element has at the infeed point, a mounting surface to accommodate the amplifier.
