Properties of a Conic Frustum

The shunt inertance at the input of the conic frustum imposes a ``high-pass'' characteristic on its modes.

**Figure 7:** An example conic frustum input impedance. The smooth curve represents the combined influence of the conicity inertance and the open-end load impedance.
