An iterati¨e method for the design of tapered transmission lines is described. The method applies the Fourier transform to a ( ) linearized Riccati equation to yield a spectral function Q k which relates to a frequency spectrum with a corresponding characteristic impedance profile.

Abstract
A new design method for a tapered impedance‐matching line is proposed. The accurate characteristic impedance profile of the desired matching line is obtained through the accurate profile inversion of a virtual dielectric medium which is equivalent to the matching line in view of the reflection characteristic. Then, the matching line is synthesized according to the characteristic impedance profile. The method can be applied to design impedance‐matching lines with arbitrary passband characteristics without any equivalent‐circuit analysis. In this method, the inevitable errors in the method using the time‐domain reflection coefficient can be avoided by using the frequency‐domain reflection coefficient. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## Abstract Impedance matching of a loaded microstrip transmission line is performed by using only parasitic elements. By the term “parasitic” matching element we mean that there is no physical connection between the conductors of the matching subsystem and the conductors of the main circuit. We co
