Abstract
The main advantage of the TLM analysis method is the ease with which even the most complicated transmission line structures. In this paper, using symmetrical condensed node(SCN), the TLM numerical technique has been successfully a lied to microstrip meander line. A detailed technique of the symmetrical condensed node(SCN) may be used to model planar microstrip transmission line is presented. Also, the S-parameters $S_{11}$ and $S_{21}$ of two types of microstrip meander line have been computed. From obtained results, TLM analysis is shown to be an efficient method for modeling complicated structure of planar microstrip transmission line. The TLM results presented here are useful in the design of microwave integrated circuits at higher frequencies region.
