  • Abstract
    The Klopfenstein impedance taper is widely used in the design of couplers, baluns, mixers, etc. However, its utility is limited by computational complexity. It is suggested that the application of some preliminary numerical analysis can remove all computational difficulties from the computer evaluation of the characteristic impedance.
