This document contains code to design a quarter-wave transformer to match a load impedance ZL to a desired input impedance Z0 at a frequency f0. It calculates the characteristic impedance Zline, width w, inductance L, and capacitance C of the transmission line. It then determines the length d required for the line to act as a quarter-wave transformer at f0. Plots are generated to show the real part of the input impedance Z versus frequency.
