Abstract
Multi-band remotely configurable synthetic tuning probes for slide screw impedance tuners allow combined larger frequency coverage beyond the capacity of existing tuning probes using the single horizontal and vertical axis mechanism of a prior art single probe, single band tuners. This is done by combining three tuning slugs, a center controlling slug and two dependent side slugs into a configurable synthetic tuning probe mounted in the single mobile tuner carriage and controlled using the same single vertical axis mechanism. The side slugs are spring-loaded towards and slide vertically independently on each other on both sides of the center slug and are lockable at distinct relative vertical positions. Their vertical position is controlled by the prongs of a fork permanently attached to the tuner slabline which hook on to the slide slugs separately.
