Default Is antenna a transducer to 377 ohms?

The feedpoint impedance of an antenna is usually 50 or 75 ohms.

The feedpoint impedance of a resonant standing wave
antenna is a result of interference/superposition and
is a virtual impedance equal to

(Vfor-Vref)/(Ifor+Iref)

The characteristic impedance of a standing wave antenna
is actually several hundred ohms.
