  1. TNT is the graphical front end supporting 2-D electromagnetic field
  2. solvers developed at the Mayo Special Purpose Processor Development
  3. Group (Mayo SPPDG). These field solvers can compute per-unit-length
  4. electrical characteristics from two dimensional descriptions of
  5. transmission lines.
  6. Mayo SPPDG has been implementing and using a variety of
  7. electromagnetic modeling tools since the mid-1980s in support of its
  8. primary research mission: developing next generation electronics
  9. technology for high speed signal processor applications. The
  10. Mayo-developed applications have been known as the "MMTL"
  11. applications, for Multilayer Multiconductor Transmission Line analysis
  12. tools. For more information about Mayo SPPDG, visit
  13. http://www.mayo.edu/sppdg/
  14. TNT is primarily a Tcl/Tk script application, and requires Tcl, Tk,
  15. Incr Tcl, IWidgets, and BWidget packages. These packages are freely
  16. available, and the source code can be downloaded from
  17. http://tcl.sourceforge.net/, http://incrtcl.sourceforge.net/, and
  18. http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/. Or you can download and install a
  19. free binary distribution of ActiveTcl which includes all these (and
  20. many other) packages from http://www.activestate.com/tcl/.
  21. TNT and MMTL field solver programs are available on the web. See:
  22. http://mmtl.sourceforge.net/
