Default Tuning antenna using signal gen and spectrum analyser

Hi,
I have just been tuning a 400MHz 1/4 wave antenna (approx 170mm length of
wire). I connect a receive antenna to a spectum analyser and the antenna to
be tuned to the signal generators 50ohm output. I set the signal generator
to 400MHz and adjusted the length of the antenna to get a maximum peak on
the spectrum analyser. My question is when i have tuned the antenna for
maximum output at 400MHz is the antenna then tuned to 400MHz or is the
antenna's impeadance tuned to 50ohm or both?
