However, an antenna tuner at the source makes the
transmission line into a tuned feeder. It tunes the
antenna *system* to achieve a Z0-match that re-directs
all the reflected energy back toward the antenna.

Given a 1/2WL resonant dipole, 1/2WL of ladder-line
is a tuned feeder. 3/8WL of ladder-line plus 1/4WL
provided by the antenna tuner results in a tuned
feeder system.
