Abstract
A thermocouple power sensor includes the ability to monitor the value of a RF load resistor. A meter connects to the input of a thermocouple-based RF signal power detector. The apparatus can sense its own load resistor DC impedance, so it can detect both aging in and damage sustained through overload to the RF dissipation element.
