Antenna Tuners: How does it do THAT? (076d)

Antenna Tuners or Antenna Matching Networks ... in the last videos I showed how the antenna tuner re-reflects the reflected power from the antenna BACK at the antenna. But I only said that it was because of the conjugate matching going on. I did NOT tell you how this conjugate matching actually does it. In this video, I will try to explain how this all happens. I will perform three experiments which should help to visualize the process. I reference the following very helpful book: "Reflections III: Transmission Lines and Antennas" By: M.
