Below NMR pulse program describes the basic two-pulse sequence for (1D and 2D) +3Q-MAS experiment applied to quadrupolar nuclei with half-integer spin.

Amplitude-modulated two-pulse 3QMAS sequence and coherence transfer pathway

Fig. 1: Amplitude-modulated two-pulse 3QMAS NMR pulse sequence and coherence transfer pathway.
The echo amplitude and the antiecho amplitude have opposite signs.
The phase cyling is discussed.

This NMR pulse program is for Bruker Avance spectrometers.

An absorption 2D spectrum is obtained with the shearing transformation.

; 3Q MAS pulse program for half-integer spin nuclei 
; excitation - t1(±3Q) - conversion (-1Q) - ACQ(-1Q) 
; Optimise P2 then P1, 2 or more iterations for P1 and P2 
; may be needed.
; For processing shearing transformation may be requested,
; use AU program xfshear
