Abstract :
The input voltage reflection coefficient on a tapered microstrip transmission line is analyzed and a new Fourier transform pair is derived which introduces echo time and frequency as variables. Calculations of the input reflection coefficient take into account the frequency dispersion-characteristics of the effective permittivity. An efficient method is proposed for analysis and synthesis of microstrip tapers and numerical results are presented for microstrip exponential tapers and microstrip Chebyshev tapers
