An antenna tuner unit (ATU) that provides broadband tuning is disclosed. The disclosed ATU includes a radio frequency (RF) switch circuit having an N number of switch inputs, wherein N is a natural number equal to 2 or greater. An N number of reactance elements are coupled in series between an RF input and one of the N number of switch inputs. Taps between adjacent pairs of the N number of reactance elements, wherein each of the taps is coupled to a corresponding one of the N number of switch inputs. The ATU further includes a capacitive element for each of the taps, wherein each capacitive element is coupled between a corresponding one of the taps and a voltage node. In at least one embodiment, each of the capacitive elements is made up of a programmable capacitor array.
