Regularized resolvent transform for direct calculation of 45° projections of 2D J spectra

The regularized resolvent transform (RRT) has been applied in a novel way to J-resolved spectra. This involves the direct calculation of the 45degrees projection without constructing the 2D spectrum. The results show a significant resolution enhancement over that obtained by the 45degrees projection of a 2D Fourier spectrum, even for much larger signals. In particular, RRT is able to resolve peaks that belong to different overlapping multiplets in a very crowded spectral region, where the conventional technique fails for any signal size. The resolving power of this method along with the significantly shorter signals required, make this method a powerful tool in spectral assignment. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
