Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus is described which determines a plurality of spaced discrete frequencies covering the range of frequencies of the characteristic motion 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 that the frequency content of said plurality of time dependent voltage amplitude values is relatively uniform over the entire time domain, and such that the magnitude associated with the discrete frequencies is relatively uniform over the frequency domain.
