1. An array coil system, comprising:
- a detector coil, which includes a plurality of coils arranged in an array;
a plurality of resistances, wherein one resistance of the plurality of resistances is connected to each terminal of each coil of the plurality of coils;
a resonant capacitive element connected between both terminals of an associated one of the plurality of coils of the detector coil;
a transmission circuit that generates high-frequency power having a predetermined frequency and outputs power to the detector coil; and
a switch circuit that performs switching to select, from the plurality of coils of the detector coil, one coil to be fed with the power generated by the transmission circuit,wherein both terminals of a coil of the detector coil, which is neither selected by the switch circuit, nor connected to the transmission circuit, are connected to a ground or a DC voltage via associated resistances of the plurality of resistances.
