A framework for general RF pulse design is developed
based on convex optimization. It can create an RF pulse
with multiband magnitude profile, arbitrary phase
profile and generalized flip angle. Spectral profile
sparsity is exploited to further optimize pulse
characteristics such as duration, transition width and
SAR with flexible trade-off among them. Designs for
specialized excitation RF pulses for balanced SSFP C-13
MRI and a dualband saturation RF pulse for H-1 MR
spectroscopy were developed and tested.
