Abstract :
The paper delivers new aspects to the TLM-method applied to longitudinally periodic structures. This contribution explains the main features of the method like the parameter estimation and the phase walls derived from the Floquet´s theorem as well as examples and compares the obtained results to analytical solutions and measurements.
