Line 74: === Taper === A taper is a transmission line with a gradual change in cross-section. ~~They~~It can be considered the limiting case of the stepped impedance structure with an infinite number of steps.<ref>Zhurbenko, p. 310</ref> Tapers 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~~404–406, 540</ref> == Circuit blocks ==
