Single Shunt Stub Tuner Design Procedure
04/22/23 10ELCT564
1. Locate normalized load impedance and draw VSWR circle (normalized load admittance point is 180o from the normalized impedance point).
2. From the normalized load admittance point, rotate CW (toward generator) on the VSWR circle until it intersects the r = 1 circle. This rotation distance is the length d of the terminated section of t-tline. The nomalized admittance at this point is 1 + jb.
3. Beginning at the stub end (rightmost Smith chart point is the admittance of a short-circuit, leftmost Smith chart point is the admittance of an open-circuit), rotate CW (toward generator) until the point at 0 - jb is reached. This rotation distance is the stub length l.

Double Stub Tunning
04/22/23 18ELCT564
The susceptance of the first stub, b1, moves the load admittance to y1, which lies on the rotated 1+jb circle; the amount of rotation is de wavelengths toward the load. Then transforming y1 toward the generator through a length d of line to get point y2, which is on the 1+jb circle. The second stub then adds a susceptance b2.
