<p>1. A method for automatically matching the unknown impedance of an antenna to the known nominal impedance of a transmitter using a matching network having variable impedance and which is connected on the input side via a measuring head to the transmitter output and on the output side to the antenna, which network also has at least one input-side capacitive shunt arm with a variable capacitance, consisting for example of a plurality of capacitor elements which can be switched in parallel to one another and has an inductive series arm with a variable inductance consisting, for example, of a plurality of coil elements which can be switched in series to one another, which network in addition for setting its variable impedance by changing the capacitance of the capacitive shunt arm and/or the inductance in the inductive series arm cooperates with a micro-processor which controls, in dependence on the information transferred to it on the input side by the measuring head, in particular relating to the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) and the phase relation, the impedance setting of the matching network in the desired direction, characterized in that, to perform a standard tuning process (STA), the transformed antenna impedance presented to the transmitter output via the matching network (AN) assumes an inductive value in a first step by changing the inductance in the inductive series arm and, relative to the Smith diagram, reaches the "G= 1" circle, in that, in a second step, by changing the capacitance in the capacitive shunt arm the transformed antenna impedance is moved along the "G= 1" circle (G= 1) until the measuring head (MK) indicates the transition from the inductive zone to the capacitive zone and thus the tuning process is concluded in that, however, if the transformed antenna impedance indicates an excessively high voltage standing wave ratio, approximately VSWR > 3 when the "G= 1" circle is reached, an intermediate step is performed in the course of the second step when a predetermined voltage standing wave ratio, approximately VSWR= 3, is reached, in which second step the transformed impedance of the antenna is corrected, by further changing the inductance in the inductive series arm, in the direction of its displacement to the "G = 1" circle and in that for the completion of these process steps, the measuring head is designed in terms of circuitry to issue control information to the micro-processor (MP) in such a way that these items of control information have, in addition to information relating to the transmitting level (P), Phase (Ph) and voltage threshold ratios (VSWR) < 1,5 ; VSWR > 3), also a criterion for the "G = 1" circle (G = 1).</p> |
