Coil homogeneity and the effect of rotor filling on the spectral resolution
Spectral resolution depends upon the length (N) of the transform interval: N=F/ f, where f is the smallest frequency difference which can be distinguished at a given sampling frequency F. f depends on the signal width, which, in turn, is influenced by the relaxation time of the sampled signal. Relaxation time is affected by the external magnetic field and the applied pulse sent to the sample through the transmitter/receiver coil. The pulse length homogeneity throughout this coil is a major factor affecting NMR resolution and also the sensitivity of the measurement. So far, this fact is only considered when small sample amounts are used, where care should be taken to place the sample in the …
