METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EJECTING UNWANTED IONS IN AN ION TRAP MASS SPECTROMETER

A method and apparatus is described which determines a plurality of spaced discrete frequencies covering the range of frequencies of the characteristic mot ion of unwanted ions and processes said discrete frequencies to generate a plurality of time dependent voltage amplitude values which vary throu...

Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus is described which determines a plurality of spaced discrete frequencies covering the range of frequencies of the characteristic mot ion of unwanted ions and processes said discrete frequencies to generate a plurality of time dependent voltage amplitude values which vary throughout the time domain such th at the frequency content of said plurality of time dependent voltage amplitude valu es is relatively uniform over the entire time domain, and such that the magnitude asso ciated with the discrete frequencies is relatively uniform over the frequency domain.
