Abstract: | In this paper, the simulation of general frequency‐dependent magnetoelectric material properties in time‐domain TLM is described. The formulation is developed from Maxwell's equations and the constitutive relations using bilinear 𝒵‐transform methods leading to a general Padé system. The approach is applicable to all frequency‐dependent linear materials including those displaying anisotropic and bianisotropic behaviour. The method is validated by the example of a chiral slab having an analytic solution. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
