Abstract :
The transmission-line matrix (TLM) method, in time domain, is extended to account for the presence of anisotropic and dispersive media in electromagnetic structures or devices. The model is thoroughly constructed by using Maxwell´s equations that make it a unified general TLM formulation. Numerical results are compared with experimental measurements; hence, in the case of ferrite-based structures, validating the model and showing the accuracy of the approach.
