Abstract :
Presents a novel numerical synthesis technique based on the reversal of the transmission line matrix (TLM) method process in time. It allows the designer to generate the geometry of a passive circuit from its desired frequency response using alternate forward and backward time domain simulation. The essential steps of the procedure are explained and validated using, as an example, the synthesis of an inductive obstacle in a waveguide.<>
