That's the conventional terminology. I capitalize to make the acronym
obvious.

Five reasons I can think of to use some type of transformer.

1. Impedance transformation.

2. Matching a balanced or unbalanced antenna to the same for the feed
line used.

3. DC static electricity isolation.

4. Isolate RF ground from AC mains ground.

5. Decouple the antenna feed from the antenna so the feed does not act
as part of the antenna.
