Abstract

A pulsed molecular beam Fourier transform microwave spectrometer especially designed for the quantitative analysis of polar pollutants in air is presented. This very fast method has a sensitivity in the ppm range and can be applied to a wide variety of substances. Details of the apparatus and the results of some performance tests are given.
