Dual scattering channel (DSC) schemes naturally extend the transmission line matrix (TLM) numerical method beyond the lines set up by P.B. Johns and coworkers. Conceptually, DSC schemes retain from TLM the typical formal splitting of the computed fields into incident and reflected components, interchanged and scattered between adjacent cells, without yet a need for transmission lines. They gene...

The paper deals with a technique of sensitivity calculation in linear hybrid networks containing elements with both lumped and distributed parameters when the multiconductor transmission lines (MTL) are considered as the distributed parts. The technique utilizes the modified nodal analysis (MNA) method to do overall description of the network enabling determining sensitivities with respect to b...

In this paper a new approach for transmission pricing is presented. The main idea is voltage angle allocation, i.e. determining the contribution of each contract on the voltage angle of each bus. DC power flow is used to compute a primary solution for angle decomposition. To consider the impacts of system non-linearity on angle decomposition, the primary solution is corrected in different itera...

Abstract: A very effective method for modelling and simulation of large complex dynamic systems is represented by distributed modelling using transmission line elements (or bi-lateral delay lines). This method evolves naturally for calculation of pressures when hydraulic pipelines are modelled with distributed parameters, and it can be used to effectively partition the model to use local solver...

The analogy between the FDTD Yee cell and a transmission-line network is invoked for the derivation of a scheme that lends itself to the implementation of a negative refractive index medium. Electric and magnetic currents, incorporated in the update equations, represent series capacitors and shunt inductors, which load the implicitly present transmission line network of an FDTD grid in a way th...

This paper compares ray tracing, finite difference time domain, and the event driven transmission line matrix models as tools for making site specific pathloss predictions in cluttered environments. A brief overview of each type of model is presented. The accuracy and computational cost of a ray tracing, FDTD, and event based TLM model are compared for a small, indoor propagation experiment. Th...

A large area antenna generates a plasma by both inductive and capacitive coupling; it is an electromagnetically coupled plasma source. In this work, experiments on a large area planar RF antenna source are interpreted in terms of a multi-conductor transmission line coupled to the plasma. This electromagnetic treatment includes mutual inductive coupling using the complex image method, and capaci...

In this paper, we present a generalization of the simultaneous diagonalization technique by means of congruence transformations to the general reciprocal lossy multiconductor transmission line case. The method paves the way to solving the inverse problem, i.e., given a lossy multiconductor transmission line system of a given length, recover the transmission line parameters from the impedance or...
