Abstract

We describe how to calculate the input impedances of finite inhomogeneous ladder networks by transforming a product of 2 × 2 transfer matrices to a product of diagonal matrices up to a prefactor and a postfactor. In particular, we find the input impedances in closed form for three inhomogeneous ladder networks (a tapered ladder network, a balanced composite right/left-handed ladder network, and a ladder network with an arbitrary period) with a periodic transfer matrix.
