Simulation of EM wave propagation in magnetoelectric media using TLM

In this paper, the simulation of general frequency-dependent magnetoelectric material properties in time-domain TLM is described. The formulation is developed from Maxwell's equations and the constitutive relations using bilinear L-transform methods leading to a general Pade system. The approach is applicable to all frequency-dependent linear materials including those displaying anisotropic and bianisotropic behaviour. The method is validated by the example of a chiral slab having an analytic solution. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
