Left: RF ion thruster assembly including peripheral HV supplies (negative: NHV, positive: PHV), mass flow controller (MFC) and radio-frequency generator (RFG). The screen grid is floating, since the PHV-supply is connected to the gas inlet instead of the screen grid. Right: CAD drawing of the RIT-4 benchmark thruster used in this paper incl. coil current, electric and magnetic field
