摘要
We present two novel techniques for modeling two-and three-dimensional metamaterials with negative refractive index by transmission-line matrix (TLM) networks. The TLM networks are numerical models of reactively loaded periodic networks-that support backward waves and constitute artificial media with negative refractive index. The TLM models, their implementations, and results. computed with the models will be presented.
