Radio frequence source and power stage for generation of all relevant signals for the quadrupole of a  mass spectrometer

1.8 MHz radio frequency generator, up to 200Vpp, resonant tank circuits for generation of high voltages with high efficiency

  • Resonance by means of motor - controlled variation of inductance of the tank circuit
  • A feedback circuit controls the resonance automatically, thus avoiding the influence of temperature and aging of the electronic parts and the quadrupole itself
  • Feedback circuit for a constand RF-voltage between 0 and 2000 Vpp
  • Superposed DC-Voltages, partly proportional to the RF-voltage
  • High speed analog technics for generation of all DC and feedback voltages
