Abstract

A radio frequency (RF) power delivery system includes a first RF generator and a second RF generator. The first RF generator operates as a master RF generator, and the second RF generator operates as a slave RF generator. The slave RF generator includes a detector for sensing an electrical characteristic of the RF signal of the slave RF generator. The slave RF generator also includes a detector for sensing an electrical characteristic of the RF signal from the master RF generator. Operation of the slave RF generator is controlled by a host or controller. The host or controller operates the slave RF generator in accordance with electrical properties determined by the second detector.
