The exponentially tapered, nonuniform transmission'
line, applied as an impedance transformer, is analyzed and
modified. The analysis develops an expression for the input
reflection coefficient that has the magnitude and phase
as distinct functions. This allows ease in comparing the
approximate and exact solutions and in developing the S-parameters for...
Because of increasing competition from non-wood building
materials, efforts are being made to improve the design of stud walls.
The objective of this study is to develop and verify a theoretical
method and computer program that will predict the end fixity in stud
walls because of the sheathing being attached...
