Improved wire modelling in TLM

An important aspect in the application of transmission-line modelling (TLM) to microwave circuit and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) simulation studies is the accurate modelling of wires and wire-like structures. This paper outlines the cause of errors arising from simplified descriptions often used when modelling wires by integrated solution methods in TLM. It proposes a simple solution which is validated against experimental results for a number of test configurations.<
