The phase/magnitude detector in the matching network samples the transmission line at 50 Ω and generates error signals, which are then sent to the AMN PS-2A. These signals cause the servomotors to turn the series and shunt capacitors. The direction of change depends on the polarity of the error signals.
Page 22
If the comparators receive no signals from these sensors, the FAIL LED on the front panel of the AMN PS-2A controller lights. To prevent damage to the series and shunt capacitors, the position fail detector also feeds the limit detector, which activates the brake that stops the servomotors when a limit is exceeded.
