Abstract
In a companion paper, a transmission line matrix (TLM) scheme was presented for the solution of the 1‐D equation of waves in moving media, y~tt~+α____y~xt~+β____y~xx~=0, describing the superposition of two waves with direction‐dependent speeds. The TLM model achieved controlled, direction‐dependent wave‐speed bias by means of supplementary link lines with notional ‘diodes’. Expressions for wave speed, presented without proof, were verified. Here a proof is presented using a new, time‐domain approach. The apparent (direction‐dependent) inductance and capacitance as seen by a single wave are first established in a generalized way from the TLM algorithm, from which two wave speeds and impedances are then derived.
