Abstract: A circuit device includes a directional coupler with a first port receiving a radiofrequency signal, a second port outputting a signal in response to signal received by the first port, and a third port outputting a signal in response to a reflection of the signal at the second port. An impedance matching network is connected between the second port and an antenna. The impedance matching network includes fixed inductive and capacitive components and a single variable inductive or capacitive component. A diode coupled to the third port of the coupler generates a voltage at a measurement terminal which is processed in order to select and set the inductance or capacitance value of the variable inductive or capacitive component.
