Abstract: A test system for monitoring the performance of a radio frequency signal generator is introduced. The system operates to predict approaching or imminent failure of the radio frequency generator. The system includes a directional coupler, a first detector, a second detector, and a processor to collect, process, and analyze data from the radio frequency generator under test.
