1. A resonant circuit tuning system comprising:
a resonant circuit having a first capacitive element in series between a transmitter and an antenna coil and a second capacitive element in parallel with the transmitter and the antenna coil, at least one of the first capacitive element and second capacitive element configured to be varied;
a controller for controlling a variable value of at least one of the first and second capacitive elements; and
a variable inductive element connected in one of (i) a series arrangement with the antenna and (ii) magnetically coupled to the antenna.
