contents Free induction decay (FID) of spin precession serves as an essential tool for quantum sensing across diverse platforms. While extending spin coherence time remains critical for sensitivity enhancement, the requisite long single-shot acquisitions narrow the resolvable frequency range, establishing a fundamental ``spin coherence limit (SCL)'', according to the Nyquist Sampling Theorem. Besides, conventional spectral analysis for FID measurement suffers from frequency alias, causing signal attenuation and positional errors that compromise the measurement validity. Here, we demonstrate a general frequency-range-extended technique that overcomes SCL by leveraging compressive sensing. By applying this method to the FID magnetometer, we expand the resolvable frequency range significantly from the Nyquist-limited range of 251\,Hz to 3000\,Hz, effectively avoiding frequency alias. Our work paves the way for implementing long-coherence-time spin systems in high-sensitivity, broad-bandwidth, and alias-free magnetic field sensing.
