Radio frequency port impedance detection using concurrent radios
Technologies directed to a wireless device with RF port impedance detection using concurrent radios are described. One wireless device includes an impedance detection circuit with a bi-directional RF coupler and switching circuitry. A processing device at least two radios, at least two RF ports, and an impedance detection circuit. The impedance detection circuit is configured to measure a first receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) value of a first reflected signal. The first reflected signal corresponding to a first signal sent by one of the at least two radios. The impedance detection circuit determines that the first RSSI value exceeds a threshold. The threshold represents an impedance mismatch condition at or beyond at least one of the two RF ports. The processing device sends a first indicative of the impedance mismatch condition to a second device.
Inter-period control system for plasma power delivery system and method of operating same
A generator produces output such as delivered power, voltage, current, forward power etc. that follows a prescribed pattern of output versus time where the pattern repeats with a repetition period by controlling sections of the pattern based on measurements taken one or more repetition periods in the past. A variable impedance match network may control the impedance presented to a radio frequency generator while the generator produces the output that follows the prescribed pattern of output versus time where the pattern repeats with a repetition period by controlling variable impedance elements in the match during sections of the pattern based on measurements taken one or more repetition periods in the past.

MULTISTAGE MATCHING NETWORK AND RELATED TECHNIQUES
Multistage matching networks and analytical frameworks for improving and/or optimizingthe networks is provided. In one example, a framework relaxes the resistive constraint on the input and load impedances of the stages of a multistage matching network and allows them to be complex. Based on this framework, the design of multistage matching networks can be improved or optimized, such as using a method of Lagrange multipliers. A design optimization approach, for example, can be used to predict an optimum distribution of gains and impedance characteristics among the stages of a multistage matching network. The efficiency of matching networks designed using this example approach is compared with a conventional design approach, and it is shown that significant efficiency improvements are possible.
