Finline Taper Design Made Easy

In this paper a method is presented which permits the quick and exact fabrication of tapers in finline technique. This method uses tapers in the form of circular area which are matched to the slotwidth as a function of the characteristic impedance. For the application of the described method the field distributions and the characteristic impedances of finlines must be known.
