An antenna tuner matches a transceiver with a fixed Electrical impedance impedance typically 50 ohm s for modern transceivers to a load feed line and antenna radio antenna impedance which is unknown, complex or otherwise does not match. An ATU allows the use of one antenna for a broad range of frequencies. An antenna plus matcher is never as efficient as a naturally resonant antenna due to additional induced losses on the feed line due to the Standing wave ratio SWR multiple reflections , and losses in the ATU itself, although issues of pattern and capture area may outweigh this in practice. An ATU is actually an antenna matching unit , as it is unable to change the resonant frequency of the aerial. Note that similar matching networks are used in other types of equipment, such as linear amplifier s to transform impedances. See impedance bridging for details.
