  • Page 54: Using The Automatic Antenna Tuner

    Using the Automatic Antenna Tuner The Automatic Antenna Tuner (ATU) is built into each FTDX101D. The ATU is designed to ensure that a 50-Ohm antenna impedance load is presented to the final amplifier stage of the transmitter. Because the FTDX101D ATU is located inside transceiver, it can only adjust the impedance presented to the transceiver end of the coaxial cable feedline.
  • Page 55 Figure 1 depicts a situation where normal tuning via the ATU has been successfully completed, and the tuning data has been stored in the ATU memory. The antenna system SWR as seen by the transmitter is shown. In Figure 2, the operator has changed frequency, and the “HI-SWR” icon has appeared. The operator presses and holds in the TUNE button for one second to begin impedance matching using the ATU.
