Is an antenna matcher a balun or unun since it matches the antenna to the input 
impedance?

antenna to the input impedance?


   I'm not sure if this is a generic question. If it is 
there are many varieties of matching circuits. Some are 
narrow band some wide band, also some change balanced to 
unbalanced lines with out without a change in characteristic 
impedance. I'm not sure where to start with this other than 
suggesting that you read the tutorial material available on 
the web. Its possible to get a good, practical, 
understanding of impedance and its transformation without 
getting too deeply into theory but the real theory is pretty 
deep stuff. BTW, matching may not be too important in some 
instances; its often not for receiving antennas.
