Presented is an analysis of loss in quarter‐wavelength impedance transformers. It is shown that the loss of an impedance transformer, S 21 , is a function not only of the dielectric and conductor loss, but also the transformation ratio. S 21 is derived as a function of both loss and transformation ratio and it is shown that for high transformation ratios, using two or even three quarter‐wavelength impedance transformers results in an overall lower loss.
