Charged particle motion is incorporated within a transmission line modelling (TLM) field code to establish a new model which allows the investigation of field‐particle interactions. The model is validated by using it to predict the trajectory of moving particles and the field and potential distributions inside a planar diode for which analytical solutions are available. The effect of space charge on the operation of the diode is also investigated. The model is then applied to study in detail a practical electron gun design.
