power foldback to 10% if RF power devices exceed safe
operating conditions
power foldback and shutdown if RF power devices
exceed safe operating currents
power foldback to 10% when supply voltage is 24V to
26V and 30V to 32V; shutdown when supply voltage
is <24V and >32V
power foldback to 10% at VSWR extremes; continuous
analogue power foldback to maintain 100% duty cycle
into mismatched loads
