=== Taper ===
A taper is a transmission line with a gradual change in cross-section. They are a simple way of joining two transmission lines of different characteristic impedances. Using tapers greatly reduces the mismatch effects that a direct join would cause. If the change in cross-section is not too great, no other matching circuitry may be needed.<ref>Garg ''et al.'', pp. 180–181</ref> Tapers can provide [[Planar transmission line#Transitions|transitions]] between lines in different media, especially different forms of planar media.<ref>Garg ''et al.'', pp. 404, 540</ref>
