  • Abstract
    The optimum Chebyshev dispersive tapered transmission line requires impedance steps at the taper ends, which limits its application. A generalised theory for the synthesis of a transmission line taper without impedance steps and supporting non-TEM modes is presented. The impedance discontinuities are avoided by using a near-optimum frequency response.
