A quadrature coil combiner for phase shifting the pulses and signals of a quadrature coil system used in magnetic resonance (MR) systems to selectively combine or cancel the pulses and signals transmitted and received. The combiner comprises a first and a second conductor for coupling a first and a second coil respectively of the quadrature coil system to a transmit-receive circuit of the MR system. The first conductor comprises an insertable pi /2 radian delay. The second conductor includes a fixed pi /2 radian delay. At least one of either the fixed delay or the insertable delay is a quarter wavelength cable whereby active elements are minimized.
