multiple chemical bonds or that undergo significant rearrangements. Periodic
modulation through ion resonance results in an averaging of the energy coupled
into the ion motion and provides a reproducible product ion spectrum, even with
changes in concentration. A disadvantage of this method is that two parameters
in addition to the excitation time and CID excitation amplitude need to be
optimized; these are the modulation range and CID bandwidth.
Changing the CID bandwidth permits simultaneous excitation of ions within a
range of masses. As CID bandwidth increases, the corresponding mass range
also increases. At a given CID bandwidth, mass range increases with increasing
ion mass, and decreases with increasing excitation rf storage level.
