Description
Diagnostics
Tuning Algorithm
The unit is designed and programmed to utilize a sweep frequency algorithm to optimize power
delivery and minimize load mismatch as detected by the unit's output sensor. The algorithm is
able to:
• Minimize load mismatch
• Lock the generator at a tune point
• Track (re-tune) frequency to follow changes in load impedance to minimize load mismatch

The generator will evaluate its internal parameters for the relative
health of the generator. Special diagnostic capability is provided for
testing into short (0 Ω) load.

< 0.1 second from RF enabled at a preset frequency (within 10% or
2 W of the minimum reflected power, whichever is greater)

If load mismatch increases above a user defined threshold, the
generator will re-tune.

When output voltage reaches 67% of nominal:
• Rise time 10 μs maximum
• Fall time 10 μs maximum
When output voltage settles within 10% of nominal:
• 300 μs at 5 W output power
• 30 μs at 2000 W output power
