[0042] Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a radio frequency circuit in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1, the present application provides a radio frequency circuit 10, which includes: an radio frequency power supply 100, an radio frequency output terminal 200, a transformer 300, a reactance compensation unit 400 and a transformation ratio adjustment unit 500. The radio frequency power supply 100 is used to provide radio frequency power to the load RL; the radio frequency output terminal 200 is used to connect the load RL; the transformer 300 includes a primary winding 310 and a secondary winding 320, and the primary winding 310 is connected between the radio frequency power supply 100 and the radio frequency output terminal 200; the reactance compensation unit 400 is connected in series with the secondary winding 320 of the transformer 300, and is used to selectively provide compensating reactance; the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 is used to adjust the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300; wherein, when the radio frequency circuit 10 needs to perform reactance compensation, the reactance compensation unit 400 provides the compensating reactance, and the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 adjusts the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 to compensate for the reactance of the radio frequency circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side.
[0043] Thus, the reactance compensation unit 400 is connected in series with the secondary winding 320 of the transformer 300, and can selectively provide compensating reactance, and the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 is adjusted through the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500. When the RF circuit 10 needs to perform reactance compensation, the reactance compensation unit 400 provides compensating reactance, and the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 adjusts the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300. Through the cooperation of the reactance compensation unit 400 and the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500, the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side can be compensated conveniently and accurately, so that the RF circuit 10 completes impedance matching and obtains the maximum power value of the load RL.
[0044] Specifically, the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side includes the sum of the internal reactance of the RF power supply 100, the reactance of the primary winding 310, and the reactance of the connected load RL. Whether the RF circuit 10 is operating before or during operation and the load RL changes, impedance matching of the RF circuit 10 is required. When the RF power supply 100 provides RF power to the load RL in an impedance-matched state, the maximum power value of the load RL can be obtained. That is, the internal impedance of the RF power supply 100 of the RF circuit 10 matches the impedance of the load RL connected to the RF output terminal 200, and the RF power provided by the RF power supply 100 is also the power value of the load RL.
[0045] The transformer 300 can transmit reactive power, and the primary power P1 is equal to the secondary power P2, and the following relationship expression is satisfied:
[0046] P1=n*U12 / Z1; P2=U22 / Z2.
[0047] Where U1 is the primary voltage, Z1 is the reactance of the primary winding 310, U2 is the secondary voltage, and Z2 is the secondary reactance. Since there are no electrical consumers on the secondary winding 320 side of the RF circuit 10, the primary voltage U1 is equal to the secondary voltage U2. Therefore, the primary reactance Z1 = n*Z2. When the secondary reactance Z2 is not zero, adjusting the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 and / or adjusting the secondary reactance Z2 can change the reactance Z1 of the primary winding 310, thereby changing the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side and compensating for the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side.
[0048] Furthermore, when the RF circuit 10 needs to perform reactance compensation, the present application does not need to adjust the circuit part of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side, and only provides compensating reactance in the circuit part on the secondary winding 320 side. The adjustment unit adjusts the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300, so as to conveniently compensate for the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side, so that the RF circuit 10 completes impedance matching and obtains the maximum power value of the load RL.
[0049] In one or more embodiments, when the RF circuit 10 needs to perform reactance compensation, the reactance compensation unit 400 can first provide the compensating reactance, and the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 can then adjust the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 to compensate for the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side. The reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side can be preliminarily compensated by the compensating reactance, and then the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side can be further compensated by adjusting the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300.
[0050] In one or more embodiments, when the RF circuit 10 requires reactance compensation, the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 may also first adjust the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300, and the reactance compensation unit 400 may then provide the compensating reactance. Based on the reactance compensation value required by the RF circuit 10 and the compensating reactance value that the reactance compensation unit 400 can provide, the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 may be first adjusted to the target transformation ratio value, and then the compensating reactance may be provided. This avoids the situation where the absolute value of the primary reactance on the primary winding 310 side of the compensating reactance is greater than the reactance compensation value required by the RF circuit 10 due to a large difference between the current transformation ratio value of the transformer 300 and the target transformation ratio value, or even the absolute value of the reactance Z1 of the primary winding 310 is greater than twice the reactance compensation value required by the RF circuit 10, which in turn causes the internal impedance of the RF power supply 100 of the RF circuit 10 to be further mismatched with the impedance of the load RL connected to the RF output terminal 200, and the power value of the load RL is lower.
[0051] In one or more embodiments, when the RF circuit 10 needs to perform reactance compensation, the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 can also preliminarily adjust the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300, and the reactance compensation unit 400 then provides the compensation reactance. The transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 finally further adjusts the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300, so that the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side can be gradually compensated when the RF circuit 10 needs to perform reactance compensation, thereby avoiding excessive disturbance to the circuit part of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side.
[0052] In particular, to avoid counterproductive reactance compensation for the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side, the value of the compensating reactance can be reduced, the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 can be pre-adjusted, and a compensation threshold can be set. When the reactance compensation value required by the RF circuit 10 is less than the compensation threshold, the reactance compensation unit 400 does not provide compensating reactance. When the reactance change value is greater than or equal to the compensation threshold, the reactance compensation unit 400 provides compensating reactance, and the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 adjusts the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 to compensate for the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side. The compensation threshold can be the absolute value of the difference between the compensating reactance provided by the reactance compensation unit 400 and the minimum reactance Z1 of the primary winding 310.
[0053] Among them, the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 is the turns ratio of the primary winding 310 and the secondary winding 320 of the transformer 300. The number of turns of the primary winding 310 can be adjusted, and the number of turns of the secondary winding 320 can be adjusted, both of which can adjust the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300.
[0054] In one or more embodiments, the internal resistance value of the RF power supply 100 and the resistance value of the load RL can both be a standard resistance value of 50Ω. By only performing reactance compensation on the RF circuit 10, the internal impedance of the RF power supply 100 of the RF circuit 10 and the impedance matching of the load RL connected to the RF output terminal 200 can be achieved, which makes it easier for the RF circuit 10 to complete impedance matching.
[0055] In one or more embodiments, the RF output end 200 includes a first end 210 and a second end 220, the first end 210 is connected to one end of the primary winding 310, and the second end is grounded GND, one end of the RF power supply 100 is connected to the other end of the primary winding 310, and the other end of the RF power supply 100 is grounded GND.
[0056] As shown in Figure 1, the reactance compensation unit 400 includes a first compensation branch 411, a second compensation branch 412 and a switch unit 413. The first compensation branch 411 is inductive and the second compensation branch 412 is capacitive. The switch unit 413 is used to connect the first compensation branch 411 or the second compensation branch 412 in series with the secondary winding 320 according to the reactance properties presented on one side of the primary winding 310 to provide compensation reactance. The transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 is used to further adjust the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 according to the reactance properties presented on one side of the primary winding 310 after compensation in the first compensation branch 411 or the second compensation branch 412, so as to further compensate for the reactance properties presented by the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side.
[0057] Thus, the first compensation branch 411 or the second compensation branch 412 is connected in series with the secondary winding 320 through the switching unit 413 according to the reactance properties presented on one side of the primary winding 310 to provide a compensating reactance, and the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 is further adjusted through the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 according to the reactance properties presented on one side of the primary winding 310 after compensation in the first compensation branch 411 or the second compensation branch 412, so as to conveniently further compensate for the reactance properties presented by the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side, so that the RF circuit 10 completes impedance matching and obtains the maximum power value of the load RL.
[0058] In one or more embodiments, the RF circuit 10 also includes a direct output branch 700, which is connected in parallel with the reactance compensation unit. The direct output branch 700 includes a direct output switch S4. The direct output switch S4 is used to connect the direct output branch 700 in series with the secondary winding 320 when the RF circuit 10 does not need to perform reactance compensation, and short-circuit the reactance compensation unit 400. At this time, the reactance compensation unit 400 does not perform reactance compensation.
[0059] Therefore, the direct output path can avoid disabling the reactance compensation unit 400 when the RF circuit 10 does not need reactance compensation, and can maintain the secondary winding 320 to maintain the path, so that the impedance of the RF circuit 10 is still matched.
[0060] As shown in Figure 1, the switching unit 413 is used to connect the first compensation branch 411 in series with the secondary winding 320 to provide compensating inductive reactance when the reactance property presented on the primary winding 310 side is capacitive, and to connect the second compensation branch 412 in series with the secondary winding 320 to provide compensating capacitive reactance when the reactance property presented on the primary winding 310 side is inductive; the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 is also used to further adjust the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 according to the reactance property presented on the primary winding 310 side after compensation by the first compensation branch 411, so as to further compensate for the reactance property presented by the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side.
[0061] Thus, compensating inductive reactance or compensating capacitive reactance is provided according to the reactance properties presented on one side of the primary winding 310, and the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 is further adjusted according to the reactance properties presented on one side of the primary winding 310 after compensation by the first compensation branch 411, so that the RF circuit 10 can be further compensated on the primary winding 310 side.
[0062] In one or more embodiments, when the reactance property presented on one side of the primary winding 310 is capacitive, the switch unit 413 connects the first compensation branch 411 in series with the secondary winding 320 to provide compensation for the capacitive reactance, and increases the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 when the reactance property presented on the side of the primary winding 310 after compensation by the first compensation branch 411 is capacitive, and decreases the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 when it is inductive, so as to further compensate for the reactance property presented by the RF circuit 10 on the side of the primary winding 310. Similarly, when the reactance property presented on the primary winding 310 side is inductive, the switch unit 413 connects the second compensation branch 412 in series with the secondary winding 320 to provide compensating inductive reactance, and increases the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 when the reactance property presented on the primary winding 310 side after compensation by the second compensation branch 412 is inductive, and decreases the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 when it is capacitive, so as to further compensate for the reactance property presented by the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side.
[0063] As shown in Figure 1, the switch unit 413 includes a single-pole multi-throw switch S1, which includes a fixed end and multiple free ends. The fixed end is connected to one end of the secondary winding 320, the first compensation branch 411 is connected between one of the free ends and the other end of the secondary winding 320, and the second compensation branch 412 is connected between the other free end and the other end of the secondary winding 320. The throwing end of the single-pole multi-throw switch S1 can be selectively connected to one of the free ends, thereby connecting the first compensation branch 411 or the second compensation branch 412 in series with the secondary winding 320.
[0064] Thus, the throwing end of the single-pole multi-throw switch S1 can be selectively connected to one of the free ends, and the inductive first compensation branch 411 or the capacitive second compensation branch 412 can be connected in series with the secondary winding 320 according to the reactance properties presented on one side of the primary winding 310.
[0065] As shown in FIG1 , the first compensation branch 411 includes at least one compensation inductor L1 , and the second compensation branch 412 includes at least one compensation capacitor C1 .
[0066] Thus, the first compensation branch 411 is inductive through the at least one compensation inductor L1 to provide a compensating inductive reactance when connected in series with the secondary winding 320. Furthermore, the second compensation branch 412 is capacitive through the at least one compensation capacitor C1 to provide a compensating capacitive reactance when connected in series with the secondary winding 320.
[0067] As shown in FIG1 , at least one compensation inductor L1 is an adjustable inductor, and at least one compensation capacitor C1 is an adjustable capacitor. By adjusting the size of at least one compensation inductor L1 or at least one compensation capacitor C1, the value of the compensation inductive reactance or the compensation capacitive reactance on the primary winding 310 side is conjugate with the reactance compensation value required by the RF circuit 10.
[0068] Thus, by making at least one compensation inductor L1 an adjustable inductor and at least one compensation capacitor C1 an adjustable capacitor, the size of at least one compensation inductor L1 or at least one compensation capacitor C1 can be adjusted according to the reactance properties presented on one side of the primary winding 310, and auxiliary compensation is performed on the reactance properties presented by the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side, so that the value of the compensation inductive reactance or the compensation capacitive reactance on the primary winding 310 side is conjugate with the reactance compensation value required by the RF circuit 10. There is even no need to adjust the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 by the adjustment unit. By only adjusting the size of at least one compensation inductor L1 or at least one compensation capacitor C1, the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side can be compensated, so that the RF circuit 10 completes impedance matching and obtains the maximum power value of the load RL.
[0069] Please refer to Figures 2 and 3 . Figure 2 is a schematic circuit diagram of the first compensation branch in another embodiment of the present application, and Figure 3 is a schematic circuit diagram of the first compensation branch in yet another embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figures 2 and 3 , the first compensation branch 411 includes at least two compensation inductors L1 connected in series or in parallel and at least two first compensation switches S2 . The at least two first compensation switches S2 are used to connect at least one compensation inductor L1 in series with the secondary winding 320 to provide a compensating inductive reactance when the reactance property exhibited by the primary winding 310 is capacitive, so that the value of the compensating inductive reactance on the primary winding 310 side is conjugate with the reactance compensation value required by the RF circuit 10 .
[0070] Thus, by using at least two compensation inductors L1 connected in series or in parallel and at least two first compensation switches S2, when the reactance property presented on one side of the primary winding 310 is capacitive, at least one compensation inductor L1 can be connected in series with the secondary winding 320, and the value of the provided compensation inductive reactance on the side of the primary winding 310 is conjugate with the reactance compensation value required by the RF circuit 10.
[0071] In one or more embodiments, each first compensation switch S2 may connect a corresponding compensation inductor L1 in series with the secondary winding 320 , so as to facilitate control of connection and disconnection of each compensation inductor L1 .
[0072] In one or more embodiments, the compensation inductances provided by each compensation inductor L1 may be the same or different, that is, the size of each compensation inductor L1 may be the same or different.
[0073] Please refer to Figures 4 and 5 , which are a schematic circuit diagram of a second compensation branch in another embodiment of the present application, and Figure 5 is a schematic circuit diagram of a second compensation branch in yet another embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figures 4 and 5 , the second compensation branch 412 includes at least two compensation capacitors C1 connected in series or in parallel and at least two second compensation switches S3 . The at least two second compensation switches S3 are used to connect at least one compensation capacitor C1 in series with the secondary winding 320 to provide a compensating capacitive reactance when the reactance property exhibited by the primary winding 310 side is inductive, so that the value of the compensating capacitive reactance on the primary winding 310 side is conjugate with the reactance compensation value required by the RF circuit 10 .
[0074] Thus, by using at least two compensation capacitors C1 connected in series or in parallel and at least two second compensation switches S3, when the reactance property presented on one side of the primary winding 310 is inductive, at least one compensation capacitor C1 can be connected in series with the secondary winding 320, and the value of the provided compensation capacitive reactance on the primary winding 310 side is conjugate with the reactance compensation value required by the RF circuit 10.
[0075] In one or more embodiments, each second compensation switch S3 may connect a corresponding compensation capacitor C1 in series with the secondary winding 320 , thereby facilitating control of connection and disconnection of each compensation capacitor C1 .
[0076] In one or more embodiments, the compensation capacitive reactance provided by each compensation capacitor C1 may be the same or different, that is, the size of each compensation capacitor C1 may be the same or different.
[0077] In one or more embodiments, the first compensation branch 411 may further include at least one auxiliary capacitor, which is connected in series or in parallel with the compensation inductor L1, and the second compensation branch 412 may further include at least one auxiliary inductor, which is connected in series or in parallel with the compensation capacitor C1.
[0078] Thus, at least one auxiliary capacitor can be used to assist in adjusting the value of the compensation inductive reactance provided by the first compensation branch 411. Furthermore, at least one auxiliary inductor can be used to assist in adjusting the value of the compensation capacitive reactance provided by the second compensation branch 412, thereby avoiding the difficulty of accurately adjusting the value of the provided compensation inductive reactance or compensation capacitive reactance using a single compensation inductor L1 and compensation capacitor C1.
[0079] Please refer to Figure 6, which is a circuit diagram of an RF circuit in another embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 6, the reactance compensation unit 400 includes a third compensation branch 414 and a switch unit 413. The third compensation branch 414 is inductive or capacitive. The switch unit 413 is configured to connect the third compensation branch 414 in series with the secondary winding 320 to provide compensation for inductive reactance or capacitive reactance based on the reactance properties of the primary winding 310. The transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 is configured to further adjust the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 based on the reactance properties of the primary winding 310 after compensation by the third compensation branch 414, thereby further compensating for the reactance properties of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310.
[0080] Thus, according to the reactance properties presented on one side of the primary winding 310, the third compensation branch 414 is connected in series with the secondary winding 320 through the switch unit 413 to provide compensation inductive reactance or compensation capacitive reactance, and according to the reactance properties presented on one side of the primary winding 310 after compensation by the third compensation branch 414, the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 further adjusts the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300, and conveniently further compensates for the reactance properties presented by the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side, so that the RF circuit 10 completes impedance matching and obtains the maximum power value of the load RL.
[0081] Among them, at least one compensation inductor L1 is an adjustable inductor, and at least one compensation capacitor C1 is an adjustable capacitor. By adjusting the size of at least one compensation inductor L1 or at least one compensation capacitor C1, the value of the compensation inductive reactance or the compensation capacitive reactance on the primary winding 310 side is conjugate with the reactance compensation value required by the radio frequency circuit 10.
[0082] Therefore, compared with the reactance compensation unit 400 of the RF circuit 10 of one embodiment shown in Figure 1, the reactance compensation unit 400 of the RF circuit 10 of another embodiment shown in Figure 6 does not require an inductive first compensation branch 411 and a capacitive second compensation branch 412. Only one compensation branch, namely the third compensation branch 414 in Figure 6, is required to provide compensation for inductive reactance or compensation for capacitive reactance. The adjustable inductance and adjustable capacitance of the third compensation branch 414 can also accurately adjust the value of the provided compensation reactance.
[0083] In one or more embodiments, situations in which the RF circuit 10 requires reactance compensation include situations in which the power of the load RL changes. When the power of the load RL changes, the reactance compensation unit 400 provides compensating reactance, and the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 is also used to adjust the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 in a corresponding adjustment direction and adjustment amplitude to compensate for the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side, wherein the adjustment direction is the direction of increasing or decreasing the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300, and the adjustment amplitude is the change value of the transformation ratio n under the adjustment direction.
[0084] Thus, when the power of the load RL changes, it is determined that the RF circuit 10 needs to perform reactance compensation, the reactance compensation unit 400 provides the compensating reactance, and the ratio adjustment unit 500 adjusts the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 in the corresponding adjustment direction and adjustment amplitude to accurately compensate for the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side.
[0085] Please refer to Figure 7, which is a circuit diagram of an embodiment of the present application in which the ratio adjustment unit is a rotary motor. As shown in Figure 7, the ratio adjustment unit 500 can be a rotary motor, the adjustment direction is the rotation direction of the rotary motor, and the adjustment range is the number of rotations of the rotary motor or a specific rotation angle.
[0086] Specifically, the transformer 300 further includes an iron core, the primary winding 310 may include a primary bobbin for winding the primary winding, the primary bobbin being rotatably mounted on the iron core, and the secondary winding 320 may include a secondary bobbin for winding the secondary winding, the secondary bobbin being rotatably mounted on the iron core. The rotating shaft of the rotating motor is fixedly connected to the primary bobbin or the secondary bobbin. For example, in FIG7 , the rotating motor rotates, driving the secondary bobbin to rotate. As a result, the rotation of the secondary bobbin increases or decreases the number of turns of the secondary winding wound on the secondary bobbin, thereby adjusting the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 to increase or decrease.
[0087] The rotation direction includes a first direction and a second direction, the first direction being opposite to the second direction. When the rotary motor rotates in the first direction, the adjustment direction may be a direction of increasing the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300. Correspondingly, when the rotary motor rotates in the second direction, the adjustment direction may be a direction of decreasing the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300. When the rotary motor rotates in the first direction, the adjustment direction may also be a direction of decreasing the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300. Correspondingly, when the rotary motor rotates in the second direction, the adjustment direction may be a direction of increasing the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300.
[0088] When the power of the load RL continuously changes within a preset period, the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 is further configured to adjust the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 at a corresponding adjustment speed to compensate for the reactance continuously changing on the primary winding 310 side during the preset period. The adjustment speed is the change in the transformation ratio n per unit time. Thus, when the power of the load RL continuously changes within a preset period, the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 is adjusted by the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 at the corresponding adjustment speed to compensate for the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side in real time.
[0089] In one or more embodiments, the regulated speed is the rotational speed of the rotary motor.
[0090] In one or more embodiments, when the load RL does not continuously change within a preset period, the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 may adjust the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 only in the corresponding adjustment direction and adjustment amplitude to compensate for the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side. When the load RL continuously changes within a preset period, the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 may simultaneously adjust the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 in the corresponding adjustment direction, adjustment amplitude, and adjustment speed to compensate for the reactance on the primary winding 310 side that continuously changes within the preset period.
[0091] In one or more embodiments, when the load RL changes slowly within a preset time period, the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 may also adjust the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 only with the corresponding adjustment direction and adjustment amplitude to compensate for the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side. That is, a change rate threshold may be set. When the change rate of the load RL within the preset time period is less than the change rate threshold, the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 adjusts the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 with the corresponding adjustment direction and adjustment amplitude. When the change rate of the load RL within the preset time period is greater than or equal to the change rate threshold, the transformation ratio adjustment unit 500 adjusts the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300 with the corresponding adjustment direction, adjustment amplitude, and adjustment speed.

As shown in Figure 8, the RF circuit 10 further includes a matching unit 600.

[0093] Therefore, the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the primary winding 310 side is matched by the matching unit 600 and the reactance compensation unit 400 .
[0094] In one or more embodiments, the matching unit 600 may be connected between the RF power supply 100 and the RF output terminal 200 , or may be located inside the RF power supply 100 .
[0095] In one or more embodiments, when the load RL is a purely resistive load and the internal resistance value of the RF power supply 100 and the resistance value of the load RL are both standard resistance values of 50Ω, it is easier to perform impedance matching on the RF circuit 10 before operation. The matching unit 600 can cooperate with the reactance compensation unit 400 to only perform reactance matching on the internal reactance of the RF power supply 100, thereby achieving impedance matching between the internal impedance of the RF power supply 100 and the load RL.
[0096] In one or more embodiments, when the load RL is an inductive load or a capacitive load, and the internal resistance value of the RF power supply 100 and the resistance value of the load RL are both a standard resistance value of 50Ω, the matching unit 600 can also cooperate with the reactance compensation unit 400 to perform reactance matching on the reactance of the load RL, thereby achieving impedance matching between the internal impedance of the RF power supply 100 and the load RL.
[0097] In one or more embodiments, when the internal resistance value of the RF power supply 100 is inconsistent with the resistance value of the load RL, the matching unit 600 can also be used to perform impedance matching on the internal resistance of the RF power supply 100 and the resistance of the load RL, thereby achieving impedance matching between the internal impedance of the RF power supply 100 and the load RL.
[0098] In one or more embodiments, the matching unit 600 may include at least one matching inductor L2 and at least one matching capacitor C2, and the at least one matching inductor L2 and the at least one matching capacitor C2 are connected in series or in parallel. It may also include resistive components such as a matching resistor. The present application is not limited to this, as long as the matching unit 600 can at least perform reactance matching on the internal reactance of the RF power supply 100.

The adjustment unit adjusts the transformation ratio n of the transformer 300, which can conveniently and accurately compensate the reactance of the RF circuit 10 on the side of the primary winding 310, and can perform real-time compensation, so that the RF circuit 10 completes impedance matching and obtains the maximum power value of the load RL.
