Yes, absolutely just like a speaker is tuned for a driver an antenna is cut to frequency.

Any mismatch will cause power to be reflected back to the transmitter.

The Shure ones, and probably other decent quality center-fed dipole antennas, aren't really tuned to a specific single frequency but more of a range. So you do want to match the ranges as best you can.

Really skinny antennas do tend to be more narrow, though.
