Short summary
The radio-frequency (rf) field amplitude in solid-state NMR probes changes over the sample volume, i.e. different parts of the sample will experience different nutation frequencies. If the sample is rotated inside the coil as it is typical for magic angle spinning in solid-state NMR, such a position-dependent inhomogeneity leads to an additional time dependence of the rf field amplitude. We show that such time-dependent modulations do not play an important role in many experiments.
