(A) Illustration of a portion of a linear SLIM component (not to scale). Opposing phases of RF are applied to adjacent RF rung electrodes biased with DC to provide an electric field for ion drift motion. DC guard electrodes on either side of the ion path prevent loss in the transverse direction. (B) Parallel SLIM linear components and the coordinate system used in text.
