This The RF Monitor is a Digital Signal Processor amplifier is combined through a relay with either (DSP) that is used to monitor the system for the Monopolar output transformer or the Bipolar safety problems that can result from a variety of output transformer to generate electrosurgical conditions.
3.2.1 RF Power Supply (RFPS) Controller (RFGATE). The base connections of the three parallel bipolar transistors are also driven The RFPS is comprised a line transformer and a by a signal that originates from the RF Controller Power Factor Control (PFC) section. The PFC (Vbase_PWM).
