Abstract

Provided are systems that includes an a induction heating circuit and at least one processor programmed or configured to generate each line of a plurality of lines, where each line comprises a graphical representation of phase value versus frequency of a signal with which the induction heating circuit is driven, determine a line of the plurality of lines that has a maximum slope, determine an average frequency of the line having the maximum slope, determine a phase value corresponding to the average frequency of the line having the maximum slope, determine a time delay, determine a self-resonant frequency (SRF) value of the induction heating circuit based on the time delay, and determine a characteristic of the induction heating circuit based on the resonant frequency value. Methods and computer program products are also disclosed.
