class skrf.taper.Klopfenstein(**kw)[source]

Klopfenstein Taper.

This impedance taper was first described by R. W. Klopfenstein [1] in a paper titled “A Transmission Line Taper of Improved Design”, published in 1956 [2] . A correction to Klopfenstein’s math was published by in May 1973 by Darko Kajfez and Jame Prewit [3] .
