摘要：

A novel design is proposed for an electronically tunable impedance unit. The prototypes include lumped elements, but no electromechanical control methods. The devices can tune many different complex impedances at minimum manufacture costs. Two antenna input impedance automatic matching systems are also presented, based on the tuning network. One includes a simplified version of the generic tuner, which can achieve good matching levels between the antenna and the power module with low losses. In a more complete version, an application specific integrated circuit control unit is developed including a complex search algorithm. In order to obtain a good matching level, both systems require a control module to select the proper tuner impedance configuration. The measurements and results of both constructed prototypes are presented. The designs were carried on Terrestrial Trunked Radio mobile stations in the 380-400-MHz frequency band and supported high power levels (greater than 40 dBm).
