Basic MQ-MAS
site for a CT selective pulse is most likely to be fulfilled. For the calibration of this
pulse a power level around 30 dB with 500 W and 1 kW amplifiers and around 20
dB with 300 W amplifiers should be expected. The pulse program zg (which uses
p1 and pl1) or zgsel.av (which uses P3 and PL21) can be used.
Figure 17.3. shows a comparison of a spectrum excited by a short non-selective
pulse with a spectrum that has been obtained by a weak selective pulse. Note that
in the latter the spinning sidebands from the satellite transition are no longer visi

ble which is used as an indication that it is not excited.
