A radiofrequency pulse is a combination of a wave (cosine) of
frequency
w
o
and a step function
Pulse length (time, t
p
)
The fourier transform indicates the pulse covers a range of frequencies

Shorter pulse length – larger frequency envelope
Longer pulse length – selective/smaller frequency envelope
