Summary:
Suppression of J modulation can be achieved using the Perfect Echo to give pure absorption mode Lorentzian lineshapes. Combining the perfect echo with WATERGATE allows long, selective solvent suppression pulses to be used, giving a narrow suppression band while retaining clean NMR spectra.
