Abstract

An apodization function, the sinc-TRAF function (S-TRAF), has been developed for application to exponentially decaying data sets where the acquisition times ( AT ) is less than or equal to one time constant, T * . For heavily truncated time-domain signals, S-TRAF is able to remove sinc ripple with only minor losses in linewidth (LW) and signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). Ripple removal achieved with the application of S-TRAF rivals that observed from use of the 'ultimate ripple-free resolution enhancement' function (URFRE) for AT as low as 0.3 T * . S-TRAF maintains LW and S/N better than URFRE for all acquisition times examined.
