Apparatus and method to monitor and control power

摘要

An apparatus to monitor and control power is disclosed. The apparatus may include a detector unit to detect a forward power and a reflected power. The apparatus may also include a control unit to control switching of the forward power from a first load that may be a radiating load to a second load that may be a non-radiating load in response to the forward power exceeding a predetermined threshold value or a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) exceeding a selected threshold value.
