Details of the circuitry used to test the IFF theory are presented. Generators of electrical pulses with nanosecond rise times and 100_V amplitudes are described.en-USIn Copyrightpulse generatorscircuit theorymass spectrometersmass spectrometrytime of flight mass spectrometryHigh-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry impulse-field focusing pulse generatorsArticle - Refereedhttp://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/rsi/57/8/10.1063/1.1138579Review of Scientific Instrumentshttps://doi.org/10.1063/1.1138579
