Abstract:
A multi-section probe and a tapered probe for impedance tuners to broaden the band width of the probes and hence the band width of the tuners. Each section of the multi-section probe has a nominal length equal to one quarter wavelength at a midpoint of the operating band. The tapered probe has a length equivalent to a plurality of one quarter wavelengths of the frequency midpoint. The multi-section probe and the tapered probe are configured to transform the characteristic impedance of the tuner transmission line step-by-step or continuously to a target impedance value.

Claim (Index 8):
The probe of  claim 5 , wherein the tapered probe section has a height relative to the center conductor which varies continuously along the probe length from an initial height closest to the center conductor to final height furthest away from the center conductor, and wherein the cross-sectional profile of the probe section is varied such that the trough becomes wider along the probe length from a first end of the probe to a second probe end, and wherein the height is a measure of the distance from a top of the trough to the center conductor.
