We selected this approach because the IS/TOF-MS combination is capable of providing both fast analysis and sample preconcentration needed for trace-air analysis. Specifically, the IS, which serves as the pulsed extraction source for the TOF-MS, can also be used to preconcentrate target chemicals to lower detection limits. TOE/MS provides for real-time monitoring whereby an entire mass spectrum typically can be produced in less than 100/spl mu/s. Given the relatively long storage-time capability of the IS (i.e., 10 ms to rather than 1 s), the IS/TOF-MS system achieves a duty cycle that approaches 100%. The transmission efficiency in the IS/TOF-MS is equally as high because the entire ion population accumulated in the IS device can be extracted toward the TOF/MS. The theory and operation of the IS as a pulsed extraction source for TOF-MS analysis of VOCs is discussed and the instrument's performance is evaluated.","PeriodicalId":294110,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2000 IEEE/EIA International Frequency Control Symposium and Exhibition (Cat.

In DDS, the output sine wave is synthesised from discrete steps. At the higher frequency sub range of DDS, the duration of each step is equal to one period of the clock signal. When this discrete sine wave is passed through a low pass filter (LPF), on its output is obtained a continuous, near ideal sine wave. At lower sub ranges of DDS, the duration of each step is more than one period of the clock signal. When this signal is passed through the same LPF the output signal is not sine wave. To avoid this discontinuity, we replace the step approximation with linear one. For this purpose, we use adaptive multilevel pulse-width modulation. The period of this signal is equal to the period of the clock. After filtering this signal through the same LPF, we obtain a continuous sine wave at lower sub range of the DDS. The distortion of this signal is less than the distortion of the standard DDS signal at the same frequency. The improvement of the output spectrum is a function of number of bits of used phase accumulator, sine lookup table and digital-to-analog converter (DAC).","PeriodicalId":294110,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2000 IEEE/EIA International Frequency Control Symposium and Exhibition (Cat.
