A Complex Domain Mapping of the SCN for an Effective PML Implementation in TLM

Abstract

An improved implementation of the perfectly matched layer (PML) is developed for the Transmission Line Modelling (TLM) method based on a mapping of the symmetrical condensed node (SCN) to an analytically extended geometric space. By mapping the TLM node, a medium — circuit equivalence is developed which maps transmission line parameters from real to complex domain. This consequently modifies the TLM scatter-connect process. The PML implementation is demonstrated for canonical cases where it is shown to have a comparable absorption performance and a significantly improved temporal stability relative to previously published TLM-PML formulations.
