    Abstract: A drive circuit for providing RF power to a component of a substrate processing system includes a plasma source operating at a first frequency. A load includes the component of the substrate processing system. An impedance network connects the plasma source to the load. A current sensor senses current at an output of the plasma source. A voltage sensor senses voltage at the output of the plasma source. A controller includes a tuned frequency calculator configured to calculate a tuned frequency for the plasma source based on the voltage, the current, and a configuration of the impedance network and to adjust the first frequency based on the tuned frequency.
