Synchronized adiabatic decoupling.

A new decoupling scheme termed "synchronized adiabatic decoupling" is developed for use in the indirectly detected dimension. After each increment, the decoupling sequence is replaced by another one with different period T or different initial period T(ini) so that sampling always occurs at the end of a complete decoupling period. The effects of J coupling are therefore completely averaged out for all data points. As a result, all decoupling sidebands disappear and the center band increases correspondingly. Since the synchronized adiabatic decoupling does not require conventional editing techniques to cancel the sidebands, it is useful in high-field gradient-enhanced multidimensional experiments with only a single scan per increment.
