What is the major function of an antenna tuner (antenna coupler)?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. It matches the antenna system impedance to the transceiver's output impedance
An antenna tuner matches the antenna system impedance to the transceiver's output impedance. This lets the radio deliver power safely into an antenna system that isn't a perfect match. It does not tune in stations or pick antennas.
Tip: Tuner = impedance matchmaker.
