Abstract
The present invention is a method and apparatus for generating a high frequency excitation signal for use in a mass spectrometer. Harmonics or aliases of a fundamental frequency contained in a signal from a digital-to-analog converter are used to excite ions in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. The signal from the digital to analog converter may be filtered to remove the fundamental frequency or to remove unwanted harmonics or aliases.
