When I think about it, it seems pretty obvious that an autotuner could get at least as good a match as a human, and probably faster. We’ve had AI search algorithms for thirty or forty years. The true match can’t be much better than the accuracy of the reflected power bridge. Look at the accuracy of the bridge, make sure the smallest L and C values have a reactance that makes adjustments that small, then use a good algorithm.
