Abstract

See full text

A radio frequency (RF) control system including a RF generator having a power amplifier that outputs a RF signal and a controller. A matching network receives the RF signal and generates at least one RF output signal. In a first mode of operation, the controller enables adjustment of the frequency of the RF signal and a tune element of the matching network to achieve an impedance match and in a second mode of operation the controller enables adjustment of only the tune element of the matching network to achieve an impedance match while the frequency is adjusted to a target frequency. The RF controls system operates in a continuous and pulse mode of operation.
