Synopsis

This book presents the topic of Transmission-Line Modeling (TLM) to a graduate or advanced undergraduate audience. It will also be suitable for computational electromagnetics specialists working in industry who wish to become familiar with this technique. Author Christos Christopoulos emphasizes the technique's physical concepts before embarking on a discussion of its mathematical developments. The work also provides simple straightforward suggestions for the development of models, which can then be programmed for further computation. Also included are sections with a strong mathematical flavor where there are clear methodological advantages, forming the basis for developing practical modeling tools. The main implementation of TLM is as a time-domain differential equation method but there are also TLM implementations in the frequency-domain. The emphasis of this book is on the time-domain TLM.

About this title

Synopsis

This book presents the topic in electromagnetics known as Transmission-Line Modeling or Matrix method-TLM. While it is written for engineering students at graduate and advanced undergraduate levels, it is also highly suitable for specialists in computational electromagnetics working in industry, who wish to become familiar with the topic. The main method of implementation of TLM is via the time-domain differential equations, however, this can also be via the frequency-domain differential equations. The emphasis in this book is on the time-domain TLM. Physical concepts are emphasized here before embarking onto mathematical development in order to provide simple, straightforward suggestions for the development of models that can then be readily programmed for further computations. Sections with strong mathematical flavors have been included where there are clear methodological advantages forming the basis for developing practical modeling tools. The book can be read at different depths depending on the background of the reader, and can be consulted as and when the need arises.
