Management of Ionization Source Based on a Pulsed Corona Discharge

It is developed igniting electrical circuit for pulsed corona discharge ionization to operate a source as part of an ion mobility spectrometer. The simulation circuit for forming a corona discharge allowed optimizing the parameters. The possibility of electronic switching of the primary winding and reverse polarity diodes in the high voltage part of the circuit provide operation of the corona discharge ion source for detection both positive and negative ions.
