Abstract:
A radio frequency power system includes a master RF generator and an auxiliary RF generator, wherein each generator outputs a respective RF signal. The master RF generator also outputs a RF control signal to the auxiliary RF generator, and the RF signal output by the auxiliary RF generator varies in accordance with the RF control signal. The auxiliary RF generator receives sense signals indicative of an electrical characteristic of the respective RF signals output by the master RF generator and the auxiliary RF generator. The auxiliary RF generator determines a phase difference between the RF signals. The sensed electrical characteristics and the phase are used independently or cooperatively to control the phase and amplitude of the RF signal output by the auxiliary RF generator. The auxiliary generator includes an inductive clamp circuit that returns energy reflected energy back from a coupling network to a variable resistive load.

Claim (Index 16):
The RF system of  claim 1  wherein the second RF generator further comprises:\n a first sensor detecting at least one first electrical characteristic of the first RF signal and generating a first sensor output signal in accordance with the at least one first electrical characteristic; and \n a second sensor detecting at least one second electrical characteristic of the second RF signal and generating a second sensor output signal in accordance with the at least one second electrical characteristic, \n wherein the controller receives the at least one first electrical characteristic and the at least one second electrical characteristic, and the controller determines whether at least one of the second RF signal or a pulsing of a second RF signal requires adjustment and communicates a requested adjustment to the first RF generator.
