Abstract The quadrupole acceptance of sinusoidal mass filters has been an area of interest for over fifty years. More recently, frequency dynamic rectangular waveform driven mass filters (colloquially digital mass filters) have been demonstrated. The acceptance of these devices has not been investigated. Commonly the acceptance of a quadrupole mass filter is calculated using the method of ellipses. Earlier this year, our group introduced an alternative method of calculating acceptance planes. The plane method is a simple and fast approach compared to ellipses. In this work, sinusoidal and digital RF driven mass filters modeled in stability zones A and B are explored using the plane method. The acceptance behavior of systems in zone B differ greatly from their zone A counterparts. There are considerable differences between the mass filter types operated in zone B. The type of RF drive potential plays an important role in the behavior of filters modeled in zone B.

RF 驱动电位对在稳定区 A 和 B 中运行的纯四极杆质量过滤器的接受行为的影响

摘要 50 多年来，正弦质量过滤器的四极杆验收一直是一个令人感兴趣的领域。最近，频率动态矩形波形驱动的质量过滤器（通俗地称为数字质量过滤器）已经得到证实。尚未调查这些设备的接受程度。通常使用椭圆法计算四极杆质量过滤器的接受度。今年早些时候，我们的团队引入了一种计算接受平面的替代方法。与椭圆相比，平面方法是一种简单快捷的方法。在这项工作中，使用平面方法探索了在稳定区 A 和 B 中建模的正弦和数字射频驱动质量过滤器。B 区系统的接受行为与 A 区系统有很大不同。
