Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) generator includes a pulse generator circuit configured to receive input signals indicative of a pulse pattern comprising pulse segments, the input signals defining power levels and durations for the pulse segments. The pulse generator circuit generates a pulse modulation control signal for each pulse segment responsive to the input signals. The pulse modulation control signal is coupled to adjust an amplitude and to modulate an RF source signal to generate the pulse RF signal having an envelope defined by the pulse segments of the pulse pattern.
