Js. Nielsen et Wjr. Hoefer, GENERALIZED DISPERSION ANALYSIS AND SPURIOUS MODES OF 2-D TLM AND 3-DTLM FORMULATIONS, IEEE transactions on microwave theory and techniques, 41(8), 1993, pp. 1375-1384
The general dispersion relations are derived for the 2-D TLM shunt and
series meshes and the 3-D TLM expanded and condensed node meshes. Imp
licit in the resulting dispersion relations are both their physical an
d spurious modal solutions. It is demonstrated that of the four scheme
s, only the 3-D expanded node mesh is free of detrimental spurious sol
utions.
