Numerical Analysis in Electromagnetics : The TLM Method

The aim of this book is to give a broad overview of the TLM (Transmission Line Matrix) method, which is one of the "time-domain numerical methods." These methods are reputed for their significant reliance on computer resources. However, they have the advantage of being highly general.

The TLM method has acquired a reputation for being a powerful and effective tool by numerous teams and still benefits today from significant theoretical developments. In particular, in recent years, its ability to simulate various situations with excellent precision, including complex materials, has been demonstrated.

Application examples are included in the last two chapters of the book, enabling the reader to draw conclusions regarding the performance of the implemented techniques and, at the same time, to validate them.

Pierre Saguet is Professor at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Electronique de Grenoble, France, and manager of the electromagnetic modeling team in the IMEP-LAHC laboratory.
