Method of separating broad and narrow lines of a frequency spectrum

Abstract

Abstract In spin resonance spectrometry, broad and narrow lines can occur simultaneously in the same frequency range. The present invention serves the purpose of separating these lines and achieves such separation by selecting the recording time, with simultaneous excitation and recording of the oscillations of the spectrum in the form of an interferogram, in such a way as to make it start either immediately after excitation of the oscillations and make it very short or delay its beginning for a certain period of time relative to the excitation of the oscillations and then make it relatively long. In the former case, it is mainly the broad lines which are recorded, while the narrow lines are excluded because the recording time is over before the amplitude of narrow lines has reached any significant value. By contrast, the delay in the beginning of the recording time results in the exclusion of the broad lines, because these lines decay very rapidly and thus have more or less disappeared by the time the recording period starts, whilst the narrow lines, which decay very slowly, are more or less recorded without any reduction.
