We use this method quite a bit. I even teach it in my Computational Electromagnetics course.

If you jump straight into the MoL lecture, you will probably not follow it. You will have to look at previous lectures. I recommend the following order:
Lecture 2 -- Maxwell's Equations
Lecture 3 -- Preliminary Topics in CEM
Lecture 4 -- Transfer Matrix Method
Lecture 5 -- TMM Using Scattering Matrices
Lecture 9 -- Perfectly Matched Layer
Lecture 10 -- Finite Difference Method
Lecture 11 -- Maxwell's Equations on a Yee Grid
Lecture 12 -- Finite-Difference Analysis of Waveguides
Thank you for the reply. Yes, i would go through them. Can I contact you for any queries on the same as I am a beginner in this field, but I am quite interested on this topic.
Sir, my requirement is to model SIW using anyone of computational methods in electromagnetics. Can you please suggest which technique i need to focus on. I have seen papers using different methods like MOM, MOL,FDFD, BI-RMEetc.
@Raymond Rumpf... sir, i have written a matlab code in FDTD to find the propagation constant for a microstrip line. i have a gaussian pulse excitation to the line.
I am facing some difficulties with it like..the fields are not getting updated in the matrix. when the field is being plotted..it shows some values..but the same is not being updated in the corresponding matrix.
could you please tell me as in how to fix the error.
