Abstract :
Based on the solution of the Riccati equation, a broadband design of a microstrip exponentially tapered transmission line for matching two real impedances is found. An iterative procedure is used to yield the phase constant, leading to an accurate design that is used to match a helix to a coaxial cable. A comparison of theoretical and experimental results shows excellent agreement.
