Programmable RF power regulator (stabilizer) |
May 8, 1984 |
| Disclosed is a regulator circuitry (stabilizer) for controlling the output of an RF generator according to a programmable input signal. A power stage is responsive to the selected value of the programmable input signal to drive the RF generator at the desired power level. A forward power |
