The transmission-line modeling (TLM) method in electromagnetics
This book presents the topic in electromagnetics known as transmission-line modeling or matrix method-TLM. While it is written for engineering students at graduate and advanced undergraduate levels, it is also highly suitable for specialists in computational electromagnetics working in industry, who...
