Original Abstract

The gerdien tube measurement method is useful to measure spectrum of air ions. In a standard type of the gerdien tube with non-segmented electrode we must change voltage in the time. The disadvantage of this method is impossibility of real time measurement because the measurement is very time-consuming. Using the segmented inner electrode, it is possible to measure the air ions spectrum without necessity of the time variant voltage between the electrodes. This paper deals with a mathematic analyze and numerical modeling of ions trajectories in the gerdien tube with the segmented inner electrode. The method of computing of the distribution of air ions mobility from currents measured on each of electrodes will be shown.
