TLM modeling of a probe-coupled cylindrical cavity based on compact wire model in the cylindrical mesh
This article describes an implementation of a compact wire model into the three-dimensional transmission-line matrix (TLM) cylindrical mesh for the purpose of an efficient analysis of probe-coupled cylindrical microwave cavity devices. Because of a cylindrical grid structure and empirical nature of the compact model, this implementation has to take into account a change of wire model parameters with a variable cross section of the TLM nodes through which a wire conductor passes. The model accuracy has been experimentally verified and compared with the corresponding results reached by the TLM method based on a rectangular grid in order to consider its advantages.  2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
