A hybrid method combining TLM and MoM method for efficient analysis of scattering problems

An efficient version of hybrid time-domain transmission line matrix (TLM)-integral equation method is presented for the analysis of the electromagnetic interference in high frequency communication circuits, combining the time domain thin wire electric field integral equation (EFIE) with a symmetrical condensed node TLM mesh. The method is highly effective for the analysis of the interaction between an arbitrarily curved thin wire structure, and a complex object exhibiting compound dielectric and loss materials, separated by large free space. The interaction between the objects is described via Green´s functions. The application of this hybrid method compared with the conventional TLM method is discussed
