Abstract :
A new analytical method is introduced for the analysis of wave propagation in one-dimensional tapered transmission lines. Based on the analytical extension of ordinary transfer matrix into differential transfer matrix, this approach can be used for calculating reflection and transmission coefficients. Different numerical test cases are thoroughly studied and in each case an excellent agreement between the results of our differential transfer matrix method and exact solutions is observed. It is also shown that our approach is superior to the more common small reflection method.
