Abstract
This paper presents a practical approach applied in the design of an electronically reconfigurable 12 stub impedance tuner based on commercially available MEMS RF switching technology. The designed device shows good impedance matching performance as well as power handling capabilities such that it can be applied to tactical communication systems. Simulated and measured results are presented.
