The performance of a planar differential mobility spectrometer (DMS) is investigated when operated in air at ambient pressure and driven by a rectangular asymmetric waveform, limited to frequencies of < 1.2 MHz and voltage pulse amplitudes of < 1 kV with steep rise times of the order of similar to 15 ns. Independent control of frequency, voltage pulse amplitude, and duty cycle allow for characterizing the DMS in terms of transmission, resolution and separation. The tradeoff between sensitivity and resolution and the effect of duty cycle on instrument performance are demonstrated experimentally. The dependence of ion mobility on the magnitude of the electric field determines the displacement of ions measured by the DC compensation voltage as a function of the duty cycle. Optimum values for the duty cycle exist for the separation of A- and C-type ions, while, B-type ions exhibit a more complex behavior. An analytical expression for describing the effect of duty cycle on the separation of the ions, determined by variations in the compensation voltage, is developed and compared to experimental results obtained in air below 75 Td using estimated alpha parameters for a set of ketones. In this context, errors associated with the calculation of alpha parameters using polynomials of even powers are highlighted.
