Hackaday Podcast 226: Ice, Snow, And Cooling Paint In July 2 Comments I’m going to make a double-L balanced tuner with balun input to feed my window-line and doublet. I’ve got some roller inductors and air-variable caps just waiting for an Arduino and some steppers. K3NG, I’d love to chat about your experiences in constructing this project. This is where radioartisan’s circuit comes into play. Since Murphy says that the length of that 75-ohm cable isn’t what we need, we’re going to add some capacitance, inductance, or both. Wouldn’t it have been nice if you could arbitrarily added values to solve your math equations in school? Well, here we do. For example, a section of 75-ohm cable can change a 100-ohm load into 50 ohms at the source, but it better be cut to the right length! When a transmission line’s impedance is different than that of the load, a transformation occurs. Transmission line impedance is an expression of the ratio of its capacitance and inductance figures. Rarely does an antenna present a 50-ohm load. Modern transmitters employ a 50-ohm source impedance if you connect a perfect 50-ohm load via a 50-ohm transmission line, then all is wonderful. Posted in Radio Hacks Tagged antennas, arduino, RF, swr, tuning Post navigationįrank, maximum power transfer occurs when the load impedance matches that of the source. Once it does, the settings are stored in EEPROM so that they can be recalled later.Īfter the break, check out a video of the tuner clicking its relays and matching a load. By varying the load, it can find the ideal matching for the given antenna and frequency. To automate tuning, an Arduino switches a bank of capacitors and inductors in and out of the circuit. The RF signal is also divided and sampled to measure frequency. Using this data, the device can calculate the SWR. They are buffered and fed into an Arduino for sampling. This device allows the forward and reflected signals on the line to be extracted. First, it measures the SWR of the line by using a tandem match coupler. This process uses a load to match the transmission line to the antenna, which controls the standing wave ratio (SWR). 
To get the best power transfer into an antenna, tuning is required.
