1. A method for calculating a corrected temperature value by a microwave generator, the method comprising:
determining a measured temperature value from a remote thermocouple probe (RTP measured);
determining a temperature value of a remote thermocouple module (RTM);
determining a temperature value of a system controller module (SCM);
determining a temperature value of a microwave module (MWM); and
calculating the corrected temperature value (RTP corrected) based on the determined temperature value of the remote thermocouple probe (RTP measured), the determined temperature value of the system controller module (SCM), and at least one of the determined temperature value of the remote thermocouple module (RTM) or the determined temperature value of the microwave module (MWM).
