The stored waveform inverse Fourier transform (SWIFT) technique offers a general method for exciting and/or ejecting Ions having any range (s) of mass-to-charge ratios In either Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance(FT/ICR) or Ion-trap mass spectrometry. In this paper, we show that any of several types of nonlinear phase modulation (preferably, quadratic phase modulation) of the original frequency-domain spectrum before Inverse Fourier transformation can suc-cessfully produce the desired low dynamic range In the time-domain as well as optimally flat frequency-domain transmitter power. Apodlzatlon of the time-domain waveform further smoothes the final excitation power profile. Phasemodulated SWIFT excitation is superior to currently available frequency-sweep excitation for enhanced mass resolution In mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry experiments, en-hanced dynamic range and mass resolution via multlple-lon ejection of abundantIons, more uniform excitation magnitude for improved Isotope-ratio measurements, multlple-lon simultaneous monitoring, and simultaneous exclte/eject combinations. Theoretical and experimental results of various excitation methods are compared.Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance(FT-ICR) mass spectrometry (1, 2) has advanced to become an extraordinarily versatile mass spectrometric technique offering ultrahigh mass resolution, simultaneous detection of the entire mass spectrum, and an upper mass limit that has yet to be reached (see reviews in Ref 3-10). Currently available excitation methods in FTICR are shown in Figure 1. Single-frequency excitation (top trace of Figure 1) was the method used to produce the very first FT-ICR spectrum (1) and is the principal excitation method inFT-NMR. However, as shown in Figure 1, top right, the “sine” amplitude profile of this frequency-domain excitation spectrum is flat (to within a few percent) only over a small frequency range (ca.±(0.1/T) Hz, in which T is the duration of the time-domain pulse). In general, single-pulse excitation producing nearly flat power over the full chemical mass range (ie, a bandwidth of ca. 3 MHz at 3 T) would require a very short time-domain pulse (ca. 0.1 us) of un-practically large amplitude (> 104 V, for a 1-in. plate separa-tion)(11).
