| Abstract: | The additional capacitance and inductance introduced by a conducting wire can be modelled in the transmission line modelling (TLM) method by a special node. A symmetrical transmission-line structure is proposed for the modelling of wire junctions in a coarse mesh. The model is tested by calculating the response of a wire-cross scatterer and the RCS of a perfectly conducting plate simulated by means of a square wire mesh. Although, initially, TLM was not developed for solving wire structures, the results are in good agreement with the theoretical and moment-method solutions traditionally used for this type of structure |
