Abstract

Developments in the TLM modelling of microwave components are described. The accuracy of TLM is considered and efficient methods of correcting coarseness error are presented. Absorbing boundary conditions, a hybrid TLM/mode-matching method and models for general materials are also featured. Typical results are shown.
