Abstract

A conventional particle generation and magnet configuration are used in combination with a relatively low-power power amplifier, a resonant loop magnet driver system, an amplitude modulator that induces a homogeneous amplitude function proportional to (t)½ and, when individual X and Y magnets are used, a precision phase shifter that induces a 90° phase shift in the applied power to one of the magnets to produce a circular raster pattern of virtually uniform density.
