Transmission line matrix method (TLM)

Abstract

TLM Summary • Highly versatile full-wave 3D time-domain method • Uses scattering and connecting of voltage pulses in a mesh of transmission-lines to simulate EM fields • Conformal meshing improves accuracy, cell-lumping improves efficiency • Compact models may be used to capture important detail such as thin panels, apertures and wires • Wide range of applications including shielding, radiated emissions and susceptibility
