How to Build an UNUN Monoband, and shortened antennas (less than 9 feet in length) can be difficult to match using just an LC circuit as described above. A switched UNUN (unbalanced to unbalanced transmission-line transformer) with multiple impedance taps may be the answer. Like the LC, they provide a DC ground, and the requisite impedance match albeit over a much greater range. The overall system losses are low (<3%), so the UNUN may be mounted near the radio rather than at the antenna. This can be an added benefit for users of remotely tuned antennas.
