Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of scientific instruments, in particular to a radio frequency detection circuit system. BACKGROUND
[0002] A mass spectrometer is a precision instrument used to analyze the composition and structure of substances. Its core principle is to determine the mass of molecules or atoms in a sample by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) of ions, and then deduce the composition and structure of the substance. It has been widely used in many fields such as chemistry, biology, medicine, environmental science, and material science, such as drug research and development, food safety testing, and pollutant analysis.
[0003] After the sample to be measured enters the mass spectrometer, it is ionized into ions in the ion source. After acceleration, the ions enter the mass analyzer, where they are separated due to different trajectories in the electric and magnetic fields. The separated ions reach the detector one by one, which converts the ion signal into an electrical signal and records it, forming a mass spectrum. Through analysis of the mass spectrum, information about the composition and structure of the sample can be obtained.
[0004] The mass spectrometer needs to accurately measure the mass-to-charge ratio and other parameters of the ions, which requires the output power of the radio frequency power supply to be stable and accurately controllable. The detection circuit must be able to accurately detect the change in radio frequency amplitude in order to adjust the power supply output in a timely manner, ensuring the accuracy of the mass spectrometer analysis. However, current mass spectrometers have low control accuracy and weak anti-interference ability. SUMMARY

[0027] Please see Figs. 1-2 This invention provides a technical solution: a radio frequency (RF) detection circuit system, including an RF signal RF+, an RF signal RF-, and a full-wave detection circuit. The RF signals RF+ and RF- are 1MHz sinusoidal signals with equal amplitude and 180° phase difference obtained by transformering from an RF coil, and are superimposed with a ±500V DC signal. The full-wave detection circuit adopts a precision operational amplifier peak detection circuit. The RF signal RF+ is connected to the full-wave detection circuit. The two output terminals of the full-wave detection circuit are respectively connected to an upper half-cycle filter circuit and a lower half-cycle filter circuit. The upper half-cycle filter circuit and the lower half-cycle filter circuit respectively filter and sample the voltage of the peak detection circuit and pass it to the subsequent circuit for further processing. The output circuits of the upper half-cycle filter circuit and the lower half-cycle filter circuit are respectively connected to compensation and amplification circuits. The compensation and amplification circuits compensate and calibrate for the voltage drop of the diode detector tube and the circuit loss introduced in the previous stage. The output circuits of the two compensation and amplification circuits are connected to a subtraction circuit. The subtraction circuit subtracts the results obtained by the upper half-cycle filter sampling circuit and the lower half-cycle filter sampling circuit.
[0028] The circuit principle of the RF- back-end connection is the same as that of the RF+ back-end connection.
