Method of controlling and correcting an asymmetric waveform
First Claim
1. A method of controlling an asymmetric waveform generated by an asymmetric waveform generator as a combination of two sinusoidal waves having respective frequencies that differ from each other by a factor of two, the method comprising the steps of:
- sampling the generated asymmetric waveform to obtain a set of data points that is indicative of the generated asymmetric waveform;
arranging the sampled data points in an order according to magnitude;
comparing the arranged sampled data points to template data relating to a desired asymmetric waveform;
in dependence upon the comparison, determining a correction to the generated asymmetric waveform, the determined correction for adjusting at least one of a phase angle difference between the two sinusoidal waves and an amplitude of at least one of the two sinusoidal waves; and
,adjusting LC tuning electronics of the asymmetric waveform generator in dependence upon the determined correction, so as to control the asymmetric waveform being generated thereby.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method of controlling an asymmetric waveform generated as a combination of two sinusoidal waves having a frequency that differs by a factor of two. A method according to the instant invention includes a step of sampling a generated asymmetric waveform to obtain a set of data points, the set of data points being indicative of the generated asymmetric waveform. The sampled data points are arranged in an order according to magnitude, and then compared to template data relating to a desired asymmetric waveform. In dependence upon the comparison, a correction to the generated asymmetric waveform is determined.
