The goal of the taper is to minimize the reflection coefficient involved with changes in impedance caused by changes in transmission line geometry. In essence we are trying to make the changes so gentle that we don't scare any electrons. The scared electrons reflect at the point of abrupt changes in impedance(flee back in the direction they came from) which weakens the signal delivered to the HDMI cable and, finally, the display. (Forgive the anthropomorphization of the electrons--it is purely for illustrative purposes.)
i get it. and it's fun, too. reminds me of "B.O.B" from Monsters for some reason.
Dr Cockroach: "Look out, here comes..." Susan: *pause*... "Susan". B.O.B.: "SuuUuuusan... oo that does sound scarey. i scared myself"
btw i miiight be able to do a pair of arcs on each side of keepout area, in "S" format, where it needs to narrow / widen.
are you able to take a closer-up photo or a higher-res version, don't worry about the file limit to the list i'll "approve" it when i see it. the image is 320x240 and it's too blurry to make out the writing and notes. not too hi-res btw! :) some of these iphones... dang. what i do is: use GIMP, convert to JPEG, set it at "35% compression", that's a good compromise on quality and size, then you can get away with even as high as 1000x1000 @ only... 80-200k or so depending on complexity. i also tend to select "Image | Mode | Greyscale" on pencil-drawn pictures.
