First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising computer instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- determining an impedance mismatch at a terminal of a tunable impedance matching network;
determining a closest impedance mismatch in a lookup table, wherein the lookup table comprises a plurality of complex reflection coefficients; and
using at least one of the plurality of complex reflection coefficients in the lookup table which correspond to the determined closest impedance mismatch to tune the tunable impedance matching network.

Abstract
Methods for generating a look-up table relating a plurality of complex reflection coefficients to a plurality of matched states for a tunable matching network. Typical steps include measuring a plurality of complex reflection coefficients resulting from a plurality of impedance loads while the tunable matching network is in a predetermined state, determining a plurality of matched states for the plurality of impedance loads, with a matched state determined for each of the plurality of impedance loads and providing the determined matched states as a look-up table. A further step is interpolating the measured complex reflection coefficients and the determined matching states into a set of complex reflection coefficients with predetermined step sizes.
