Does not a mismatch create problems with loss and noise?
If I connect a 50 ohm coax to a 300 ohm TV antenna, without a
transformer, should I not anticipate a poor quality received signal?
Or am I misunderstanding?

You know, after all the talk about matching impedances, I'm really
wondering .... we talk about POWER in watts but that's pretty much for
transmitters. But we talk about receivers in? VOLTS. Well, okay, microvolts,
usually. Somehow, I don't see a good reason to CARE about matching
receiver input impedance. Maybe it lowers the antenna bandwidth or Q?
Impedances have PHASE, but voltages do not. Care to comment?
