bipolar gradient pulse<br />

Description<br />

A bipolar gradient pulse is one in which the<br />

gradient is turned on in one direction for a<br />

period of time then turned on in the opposite<br />

direction for an equivalent amount of time. A<br />

positive bipolar gradient pulse has the positive<br />

lobe first and a negative bipolar gradient<br />

pulse has the negative lobe first. The area under<br />

the first lobe of the gradient pulse must<br />

equal that of the second. A bipolar gradient<br />

pulse has no net effect on stationary spins.<br />

Spins which have a velocity component in the<br />

direction of the gradient will be effected by<br />

the bipolar gradient pulse.<br />
