Modeling and impedance matching for radio frequency driven plasma lamp considering cold and hot states.

A new dual-state impedance matching scheme for a microwave driven plasma lamp using a solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) is presented. The impedance of the plasma lamp depends on the amount of input radio frequency (RF) energy, and therefore has very different values for hot and cold states. First,...
