The present invention discloses a class of independent or linked facing
tuning elements to be used in loadpull high gamma slide-screw tuner
consisting of a radio-frequency (RF) transmission media comprising
impedance tuning elements such as probes, corrugated probes,
multi-section probes or single stub/double stub harmonic resonators.
Multiple carriages can support multiple pairs of independent or dependent
facing tuning elements. This invention, by decreasing the distances
between the probes, allows the increasing of the modulus of the
VSWR/Gamma. Also two dependent probes can be controlled with only two
remote controls, one for the VSWR/Gamma phase control and another one for
the VSWR/Gamma amplitude control.
