Description
Transmission line Impedance Tapers are critical components in signal transmission systems, aiding in impedance matching and minimizing signal reflections. Accurate simulations are essential for analyzing the electrical performance of these tapers. This research work presents a CAD tool developed using Python that enables the simulation of different transmission line tapers using analytical and numerical methods. The CAD tool provides engineers and researchers with an intuitive graphical interface to visualize and analyze the behaviour of transmission line tapers effectively.
