Abstract

An RF power supplier is provided, that enables multiple-frequency RF power. The system uses N RF signal generators, combines the RF signals, amplify the combined signals, and then separates the amplified signal. The output of the system is then a multiple-frequency RF power. Optionally, the frequencies are switchable, so that one may select which frequencies the system outputs.
