= Quarter-wave impedance transformer
{wiki=Quarter-wave_impedance_transformer}
A quarter-wave impedance transformer is a simple, yet effective device used in radio frequency (RF) engineering to match different impedances in transmission lines. The function of the quarter-wave transformer is to transform an impedance into another by utilizing the specific properties of transmission lines. \#\#\# Key Points: 1. **Length**: The quarter-wave transformer is usually designed to be one-quarter of the wavelength (λ/4) at the frequency of interest. The length of the transformer is critical for its proper function.
