Abstract

The transmission line matrix (TLM) method for microwave circuit analysis calculates the time-domain variation of the electromagnetic fields in response to an arbitrarily chosen excitation. Spectral estimation for the TLM method by use of the discrete fourier transform and fast Fourier transform is reviewed. Error bounds are given and checked by means of a numerical example. A spectral estimation method based on Prony´s method for use with TLM is presented. A numerical example shows that the method allows an order of magnitude reduction in the number of iterations in the TLM method for equal accuracy
