Patent attributes
In an NMR measurement method using an NMR apparatus which converts a received signal to digital data using an analog/digital converter and performs a spectral analysis, a folding and aliasing count is decided from a variation in a peak frequency and frequency discrimination is performed. More specifically, a Nyquist frequency is changed to cause a variation of the peak frequency. Since the Nyquist frequency is inversely proportional to an increment of an evolution time t1 which is a feature of multi-dimensional NMR, the Nyquist frequency can be changed by changing the increment of the evolution time. Furthermore, the Nyquist frequency is changed in such a way that a ratio between different Nyquist frequencies is not a ratio between natural numbers n1 and n2 which are greater than 0 and smaller than or equal to the maximum folding and aliasing count.
