Abstract
A novel design for shielded, magnetic pulsed field gradients with tran sverse geometry is presented. The gradients are intended for use in NM R microscopy and localized spectroscopy. The integrated coll design is based on simulated annealing (SA) optimization and results in well sh eilded coil sets of high linearity and sensitivity. The design approac h is a flexible one and is amenable to the design of gradients in a va riety of configurations.
