Nonuniform sampling and non-Fourier signal processing methods in multidimensional NMR.

Area of Science:

• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy
• Analytical Chemistry
• Physical Chemistry

Background:

• Fourier Transform NMR (FT-NMR) relies on uniform sampling for discrete Fourier transform (DFT).
• The Nyquist theorem traditionally dictates sampling intervals to prevent aliasing.
• Multidimensional NMR experiments inherited these uniform sampling techniques, facing limitations in resolution and measurement time.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review advancements in data sampling strategies for multidimensional NMR.
• To highlight signal processing methods for nonuniformly sampled NMR data.
• To discuss techniques for accelerating NMR data acquisition.

Main Methods:
