How do I design an automatic antenna tuner with no moving parts?

This is a good question.

How to do it - without relays, motor driven capacitors and inductor cotacts?


1.) Since you did not specify the power level, use varactor diodes and
inductors on a suitable core material and vary the core permeability
with an external magnet field, controlled by a variable DC-current.

2.) Alternatively, get rid of the antenna tuner by using resonant and
matched broadband antennas.
