Two-Port Equivalent Circuits of Two-Wire Parabolic Tapered Coupled Transmission Lines

Two-port equivalent circuits of two-wire parabolic tapered coupled transmission lines (PTCTL) with open or short terminal conditions on the remaining two ports are presented. First, two-port equivalent circuits of PTCTL, whose characteristic admittances increase along the lines, are shown. Second, two-port equivalent circuits of PTCTL, whose characteristic impedances increase along the lines, the dual of the previous circuits, are shown. These two-port circuits of PTCTL are expressed in terms of two equivalent representations, one having mixed, lumped and uniform distributed circuits, and the other consisting of uncoupled nonuniform distributed circuits.
