Numeric experiments were performed to study the first and second stability regions and find the optimal configurations of a quadrupole mass filter constructed of circular quadrupole rods with a rectangular wave power supply. The ion transmission contours were calculated using ion trajectory simulations. For the first stability region, the optimal rod set configuration and the ratio r / r 0 is 1.110–1.115; for the second stability region, it is 1.128–1.130. Low‐frequency direct current (DC) modulation with the parameters of m  = 0.04–0.16 and ν  =  ω /Ω = 1/8–1/14 improves the mass peak shape of the circular rod quadrupole mass filter at the optimal r / r 0 ratio of 1.130. The amplitude modulation does not improve mass peak shape. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
