Abstract

A spectral estimation technique based on the Autoregressive (AR) method has been successfully implemented to increase the efficiency of the TLM method. It can be used to compute the full time-domain response from a relatively short segment of the early TLM response. It was found that the Least-Square technique of estimating the AR parameters requires a shorter time record than solving the Yule-Walker equations through the Levinson-Durbin algorithm. Application to a three-section waveguide bandpass filter at 35 GHz shows that this technique gives very accurate scattering parameters with computational savings of up to five times.<>
