Simulations have been carried out on z-magnetizations produced by (and hence of the resulting spectra from) the dipolar filter (DF) and the recently suggested "Discrimination Induced by Variable-Amplitude Minipulses" (DIVAM) pulse sequences [S. Ando et al., Polymer 42 (2001) 8137; Magn. Reson. Chem. 40 (2002) 97]. The strengths of dipolar interactions have been modelled by introducing different values for transverse relaxation times. The DF case has been extended by allowing the pulse angles to be smaller than 90 degrees. The pulse intervals have also been used as variables. For the DIVAM case, the variables are similarly the minipulse nutation angles and minipulse intervals. The computations show that DIVAM is superior to DF in terms of selectivity for spectra of heterogeneous materials such as semi-crystalline polymers. The effects of the pulse sequences on 19F spectra of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and of a copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene (p(VDF/TrFE)) are presented, together with fits of the experimental results by the simulations.
