Abstract: A high efficiency driving power source with capability of withstanding high load mismatch has 
been developed for the radiofrequency (RF) light emitting plasma (LEP) sources. Considering open-circuit for the 
third harmonic and short-circuit termination for the voltage even harmonics, the circuit topology combining the 
lumped parameter and the distributed parameter is used to realize the high efficiency class F power amplifier with 
harmonic control. The working frequency controlled by the microcomputer follows the resonant frequency of the 
plasma light to achieve low voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) for the output of the power amplifier, so that the 
long-term reliability is improved. Both the full power tests with continuous wave and matching test with the 
plasma light were carried out for the high efficiency solid state driving source. Results show that the output power 
of 200W with the drain efficiency of 80.7% or more is achieved for the final stage class F power amplifier in the 
range of 435~445MHz. The overall efficiency of the driving power source is 77.5% within the operating 
frequency range, and the system light efficacy is 86.21m·W⁻¹ in the joint test with the plasma light resonator.
