Double-quantum filtered Solomon echo sequence with pulse lengths p1 and p2 for nutation NMR

To cancel the central transition FID following the second pulse, we apply the double-quantum (DQ) filtered Solomon echo sequence. The duration tau2 between the two pulses must be shorter than that of the central transition FID. Thanks to phase cycling, only the DQ coherences generated by the first pulse are converted back to -1Q coherences as echoes of satellite transitions by the second pulse. Solomon echoes are observed in the two channels of the receiver.
