Real-time calibration of a tunable matching network that matches the dynamic impedance of an antenna in a radio frequency transmitter system. The radio frequency transmitter system includes two non-linear equations that may be solved to determine the reflection coefficient of the antenna. The tunable matching network is repeatedly perturbed and the power reflected by the antenna is measured after each perturbation at the same node within the tunable matching network. The power values are used by an optimizer in converging to a solution that provides input impedance of the antenna. The elements of the matching circuit are adjusted to match the input impedance of the antenna.
