Abstract

Supplying high voltage radio frequency (RF) is a critical part of ion trapping system due to impedance mismatching between RF source and the ion trap. A helical resonator has been constructed in order to deliver narrow bandwidth and high voltage RF to the ion trap for stable confinement of ions. The performances of the helical resonator have been studied for different capacitive load of the ion trap. Both the resonant frequency and quality factor of the resonator show strong dependence on external capacitive loads.
