Application of linear prediction and singular value decomposition (LPSVD) to determine NMR frequencies and intensities from the FID.

A parametric spectral analysis based on linear prediction and singular value decomposition has been applied to the 31P FID of a tumor implanted in a mouse. It is found that a number of complications that may arise in in vivo FFT NMR can be circumvented. The new method yields all parameters of the spectral components, i.e., the frequency, amplitude, damping constant, and phase.
