It doesn`t. You can put a capacitor directly across its output
terminals, and the transmitter will energize the capacitor.

Hi Richard,

And so it would seem that a too-short antenna would act likewise.
This, then, returns us to my original question for this, a very simple
example that has a currency that is frequent enough in our experience:
how does a transmitter happen to always be "in-phase" to any
reflection?
