Transmission-line matrix method

<p>The transmission-line matrix (TLM) method is a space and time discretising method for computation of <a href="/facts/Electromagnetic_fields/MacraS8y">electromagnetic fields</a>. It is based on the <a href="/facts/Analogy/LYcGaTdm">analogy</a> between the electromagnetic field and a mesh of <a href="/facts/Transmission_line/cYlqaPo3">transmission lines</a>. The TLM method allows the computation of complex three-dimensional electromagnetic structures and has proven to be one of the most powerful <a href="/facts/Time_domain/1w6mP2MU">time-domain</a> methods along with the <a href="/facts/Finite_difference_time_domain/PvvfRVJo">finite difference time domain</a> (FDTD) method. The TLM was first explored by British electrical engineer <a href="/facts/Raymond_Beurle/tPgRjVqK">Raymond Beurle</a> while working at <a href="/facts/English_Electric_Valve_Company/atj879FE">English Electric Valve Company</a> in <a href="/facts/Chelmsford/R08HBTn4">Chelmsford</a>. After he had been appointed professor of <a href="/facts/Electrical_engineering/YYXW1KLW">electrical engineering</a> at the <a href="/facts/University_of_Nottingham/PR8osn19">University of Nottingham</a> in 1963 he jointly authored an article, "Numerical solution of 2-dimensional scattering problems using a  transmission-line matrix", with Peter B. Johns in 1971.
