Abstract
In many systems which are capable of coherent scattering of radiation, satellite lines appear at regular frequency intervals about the center (carrier) line in the spectrum. Well-known examples include the Zeeman sidebands in magnetic resonance spectra and the Stark sidebands employed in microwave spectroscopy. In this paper a theory developed by Karplus to describe the latter case is generalized to cover a wider range of phenomena. The results are discussed from the point of view of nuclear magnetic resonance.
