To meet the localization needs of high-field spectroscopy, new high-bandwidth computer-optimized RF excitation pulses have been generated, featuring phase modulation, t=0 points near the end of the pulse duration, B1 insensitivity over a ±15% range, and sharp excitation profiles. In the design process, a maximum amplitude of 1 kHz was imposed, and bandwidth was increased by stepping up the pulse length from 5 to 11 ms. Both 90° and 60° flip angles have been investigated thus far.
