In this paper, a numerical three-dimensional (3D) model of electromagnetic left- handed metamaterials (LH MTM) is applied for the modelling of composite right-left handed (RH/LH) structures with a graded refractive index profile commonly named GRIN MTM. The core of this model is Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) Z-transform method that incorporates the Drude function to account for dispersive LH MTM properties in the time-domain. Lossy GRIN slabs with abrupt, hyperbolic tangent, cosine, and linear refractive index profiles have been considered. The accuracy, efficiency and stability of the proposed approach are verified using analytical solution.
