N2 - Novel composite 180° pulses are designed for use in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and verified experimentally using solution-state 1H NMR spectroscopy. Rather than being constructed from 180° pulses (as in much recent work), the new composite pulses are constructed from 90° pulses, with the aim of finding sequences that are shorter overall than existing equivalents. The primary (but not exclusive) focus is on composite pulses that are dual compensated – simultaneously broadband with respect to both inhomogeneity of the radiofrequency field and resonance offset – and have antisymmetric phase schemes, such that they can be used to form spin echoes without the introduction of a phase error. In particular, a new antisymmetric dual-compensated refocusing pulse is presented that is constructed from ten 90° pulses, equivalent to just five 180° pulses.
