taper (skrf.taper)

Taper Objects

Tapered transformers, or tapers in short, are used to match one impedance to another (from Z1 to Z2) [1].

By tapering a transmission line, a very broadband impedance match (low VSWR) can be realized over a wide bandwidth, the longer the taper, the wider the frequency band.
