Homogeneous &
Inhomogeneous Broadening
Homogeneous Broadening
The lineshape is determined by the relaxation
time. The spectrum is the sum of a large
number of lines each having the same
Larmor frequency and linewidth.
Lorentzian Lineshapes
Inhomogeneous Broadening
The lineshape is determined by the
unresolved couplings. The spectrum is the
sum of a large number of narrower
homogeneously broadened lines each having
the different Larmor frequencies.

Fourier Theory
Fourier transforms convert
time domain signals into
frequency domain signals
and vice versa.

Fourier Theory
Some Fourier Facts
Even functions (f(-t) = f(t) or symmetric) have purely real
Fourier transforms.
Odd functions (f(-t) = -f(t) or anti-symmetric) have purely
imaginary Fourier transforms.
Fourier Theory
Some Fourier Facts
An exponential decay in the time domain is a lorentzian in
the frequency domain.
A gaussian decay in the time domain is a gaussian in the
frequency domain.
Fourier Theory
Some Fourier Facts
Quickly decaying signals in the time domain are broad in the
frequency domain.
Slowly decaying signals in the time domain are narrow in
the frequency domain.
