Abstract
This paper presents a CAD for analysis and synthesis of Unilateral Fin-Lines with Taper design, “FINAS”. For analysis, the system uses empirical formula. On the other hand, for synthesis is applied an iterative method based on Newton-Raphson Algorithm. At the Tapered Fin-Line conception the system presents three kinds of tapers. In spite of the use of empirical formula, comparisons with Spectral Domain Method revealed excellent results.
