Default 4:1 balun question

Hi Group,

Put up a off-center dipole, 80 feet on one side and 40 feet on the other side
and use a 4:1 to step down the impedance.

How does a 4:1 balun change a complex impedance? Is the j part of the antenna
also divided by 4? for example, 200+j200 will step down to 50+j50 ?

Just do what the arithmetic tells you to do.

Z/4 = (R+jX)/4 = R/4 + jX/4
