Hello Maxim,

You can use Fourier filtering technique.

1. Preliminary refining background with a "simple polynomical" function
   set IPL (ppl)  = 2.  This generates the background-file FILE.BAC

2. Set NBCKGD (Nba) = -2
   Set the value of Window for Fourier filtering, FWINDOW
   "The value of FWINDOW must be much greater than the number of points
   subtended by the base of a single Bragg reflections in the widest
   region (a factor greater than five, at least!)"
   Remove the lines with polynomical coefficients and their codes.

3. Run a refinement. The background will be ajusted iteratively while
   keeping IPL (ppl) = 2, otherwise put IPL (ppl) = 0 (changes will not
   be written to FILE.BAC).

For details look to Fullprof User's manual.
