1. A method for mixing gas streams in an ion mobility sensor, comprising:
- providing a first inlet gas stream to the ion mobility sensor;
providing a second diluent gas stream to the ion mobility sensor;
measuring at least one of temperature, pressure and humidity of each first and second gas stream; and
mixing at least the first and second gas streams in response to measurement of at least the first and second gas streams.

Abstract
An ion mobility gas detector apparatus including a detector core, an inlet gas path, an exhaust gas path, a source of diluent gas, and at least one or more sensors for measuring temperature, pressure and humidity of gas streams. Further included is a mixing mechanism adapted to mix at least first and second gas streams in response to one or more sensor measurements. A controller is provided for applying drive signals to the detector core.
