Tech Consultant Zach Peterson explores applying tapers to traces in RF designs. In a previous video, Zach tested applying a taper, but with minimal results. That's because tapers require optimization. In this video, Zach dives into that optimization via impedance matching theory in taper design. He also covers how to execute the required calculations in Excel (with a free calculator included).
