DUMBO decoupling is as efficient as PMLG decoupling. As discussed in chapters
22 and 23, it requires to spin a bit slower (up to 12-13 kHz) and to place the carrier
closer to resonance. Faster spinning is possible with higher power pulses and
shorter pulse widths (24 usec or 16 usec).
The library of AU-programs in TopSpin
includes dumbo, which calculates the desired shapes for windowed and window
-
less DUMBO shapes. If the windowless version is desired, the e-dumbo shape is
preferred. Typing xau dumbo starts a dialog, in which e (for e-dumbo 22), 1 for the
number of cycles, 64 for the number of steps, and 0 for an added angle (this value
would be added to all phases in the shape). The program sets p20 to 32 µsec as
default. This is appropriate for an RF field of 100 kHz. Spnam2 is set to
edumbo22_1+0.
