Abstract :
The authors present a set of modified condensed node TLM (transmission line matrix) structures, compatible with the 3D TLM condensed node, that improve the modeling of conductor strips and provide a means of directly embedding lumped devices into the mesh. The improvement in accuracy is demonstrated by evaluating the propagation constant of a simulated microstrip line.<>
