PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a phase/magnitude detector, in particular, implemented using a logarithmic amplifier. SOLUTION: A power generation system includes an RF power generator which provides an RF output power. A power distribution system includes a phase-magnitude detector module having a dual logarithmic amplifier phase-magnitude detector. The dual logarithmic amplifier phase-magnitude detector receives current and voltage signals. The dual logarithmic amplifier phase-magnitude detector generates a phase signal that varies in accordance with the phase between the voltage signal and the current signal, and a magnitude signal that varies in accordance with the magnitude between the voltage and current signals. A controller receives the phase and magnitude signals, and communicates control signals to the matching network. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
