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?
To make any tuner variable, you have to vary something (and this can
only be an L or a C).
If you don't vary them physically with moving parts, you have to vary
them electrically.
You can change C using Varicap diodes (where you vary a DC voltage.
You can change L by using inductors with cores which you can partially
saturate by varying a DC current.
Neither technique is really applicable to transmission.
