  • ASSESSMENT OF MATCHING NETWORKS
    Publication number: 20210111009
    Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a match network are disclosed. One match network comprises at least one first sensor to measure one or more first parameters and at least one second sensor to measure one or more second parameters. The match network also comprises means for assessing whether the match is operating as expected or operating outside of specifications using the one or more first-parameter measurements; the one or more second-parameter measurements; a setting of the match; or one or more expected parameter values.

  • Detection of damage in matching networks
    Patent number: 10943770
    Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a match network are disclosed. A method includes obtaining at least one measurement-based-attribute at the first side of a match network and at least one measurement-based-attribute at a second side of the match network. A present reactance setting of the match network is obtained and a model of the match network is accessed that associates the at least one measurement-based-attribute at the first side of the match network with at least one expected-attribute at the second side of the match network based upon the present reactance setting of the match network. The at least one measurement-based-attribute at the second side of the match network is contrasted with the at least one expected-output-attribute to assess whether the match network is at least one of damaged or operating outside of specifications.
