Pulsed high frequency monitor

Abstract

A pulsed high frequency monitor of the present invention monitors the power level of a pulsed high frequency on the basis of a transition pattern in which the power level changes in time series instead of monitoring the power level by comparing the power level of the pulsed high frequency with a threshold value. The pulsed high frequency monitor comprises: a DC circuit that converts the pulsed high frequency into DC and outputs the power level; a power level change detection circuit that detects a level change of the power level; and a transition pattern determination circuit that determines a time-series transition pattern of the power level on the basis of the level change detected by the power level change detection circuit.
