Modeling of anisotropic magnetized plasma media using PLCDRC-TLM method

In this paper, the electromagnetic waves propagation in dispersive anisotropic magnetized plasma medium is modeled using transmission line matrix (TLM) method based on the piecewise linear current density recursive convolution (PLCDRC) formulation. The high efficiency and accuracy of the proposed formulation are confirmed by computing the reflection and transmission coefficients for a magnetized plasma layer. The schemes of PLCDRC-TLM and Runge-Kutta exponential time differencing (RKETD)-TLM algorithms are presented. A comparison of the numerical results of the PLCDRC-TLM and RKETD-TLM with analytical values in frequency-domain is included. Simulation results indicate that PLCDRC-TLM method is more accurate than RKETD-TLM algorithm.
