Abstract: t1 noise, stemming from the instabilities of pulse phases in 2D spectroscopy, has been investigated theoretically as well as experimentally. Based on the angular momentum operator Ix,Iy,Iz formalism, our deductions show that the different precessing directions of the magnetization between P-type and N-type gradient enhanced DQF-COSY experiments result in that P-type gradient enhanced DQF-COSY experiments refocus the phase errors of pulses, while N-type gradient enhanced DQF-COSY experiments strengthen the effect of the phase errors of pulses. Therefore, t1 noise in P-type gradient enhanced DQF-COSY experiments is lower than that in N-type. In addition, the theoretical ratio of P-type to N-type is √3:√11, which is supported by our experimental results.
