Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for adjusting the source impedance of a generator are disclosed. An exemplary method includes generating a first signal and applying the first signal to a first input of a combiner, generating a second signal and applying the second signal to a second input of said combiner, and combining the first and second signals with the combiner at an output of the combiner to produce power that is delivered to the plasma load. A controllable variable impedance is provided to an isolation port of the combiner, and the controllable variable impedance is adjusted to vary the source impedance of the generator.
