Abstract
Some embodiments include a system, comprising: an enclosure configured to enclose a vacuum; a cathode disposed within the enclosure; an anode disposed within the enclosure configured to receive a beam of electrons from the cathode; a motor disposed within the enclosure and configured to rotate the anode in response to a drive input; and a circuit electrically connected to the drive input, and configured to generate a phase signal based on a voltage of the drive input and a current of the drive input, the phase signal indicating a phase difference between the voltage of the drive input and the current of the drive input.
