What is a Tuner?
An antenna tuner or antenna tuning unit is a device connected between a radio transmitter or receiver and its antenna in order to improve the effectiveness of the power transfer between them. This is done by matching the impedance of the equipment to that of the antenna. A tuner matches a transceiver with a fixed impedance to an unknown, complex or non-matching antenna impedance. An antenna tuning unit allows one antenna to be used for a broad range of frequencies. A tuner is typically connected between the antenna and the radio transmitter or receiver and is more specifically connected between the feed line and the antenna or between the feed line and radio to minimize loss.

Applications for Tuners:
Antenna tuners are used in high power shortwave broadcasting transmitters. This is due to frequent waveband changes. Most antennas that are used in high power shortwave broadcasting are HRS type antennas. In HRS antennas the radiating elements are of a fixed length and the antenna resonance is optimized for one or two bands only.
