Abstrakt: In this paper, an efficient Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) algorithm for modeling chiral media is presented. The formulation is based on auxiliary differential equations (ADE) of electric and magnetic current densities. Permittivity and permeability are assumed to follow the Lorentz model while chirality is assumed to follow the Condon model. The proposed method models the dispersive nature of permittivity, permeability, and chirality by adding both voltage and current sources in supplementary stubs to the conventional symmetrical condensed node (SCN) of the TLM method. The electromagnetic coupling appears explicitly in the update equations of the voltage and current sources. The algorithm is developed to simulate electromagnetic wave propagation in a chiral medium. The co-polarized and cross-polarized transmitted and reflected waves from a chiral slab due to a normal incident plane wave are calculated. Validation is performed by comparing the results obtained from the proposed method with those obtained analytically. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
