Automatic Antenna Tuner
Šváb, Jaroslav ; Lukeš, Zbyněk (referee) ; Šebesta, Jiří (advisor)
This degree work deals with the design and implementation of an automatic antenna tuner for short-wave transmitters. The device works within the short-wave range in (1.5 MHz - 30 MHz) band according to the selection of the given frequency. Its principle is that the tuner has a small range of adapted impedances, but it is usually sufficient for fine tuning of most deviations in the system of antenna 50 - feeder 50 - transceiver outlet 50 . It is also equipped with memories which the settings for the individual bands or frequency segments are stored into. Then the transition from one band to another is quick, easy and, first of all, safe, which is a great advantage. In automatic mode, a SWR limit from which the tuner should start to tune can be set. Interconnection with a TRX is not necessary in a fully automatic mode, the device tunes automatically after keying if the set limit of SWR has been exceeded. The automatic tuning is very quick with this device, if the antenna being tuned is not stored in the memory the tuning lasts ca 0.5 - 6 s, if the tuner uses the memory. It could be said that the work with the tuner is without problems, it is possible to learn to control it in a short time. The tuner is small and light. The result of the whole project is a compact device controlled by the user by means of push buttons.

Automatic Antenna Tuner with Intelli-fit Algorithm
Frecer, Petr ; Povalač, Aleš (referee) ; Lukeš, Zbyněk (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis deals with an antenna impedance matching, a design and a construction of an automatic antenna tuner. Basic physical equations are mentioned describing reflections on a feed line and the impedance matching. Various LC networks are discussed for their impedance-transforming possibility. One of the designs is chosen according to given requirements. A system is designed as fully-automated. All activities are managed by a microcontroller. Fast impedance matching is provided by an intelligent algorithm. A SWR-meter serves as a vital data source. The system is equipped with additional circuits that improve functionality (a frequency counter, an external memory). The system can be controlled remotely by a personal computer programme communicating via USB or RS-232.
