The improved FDTD algorithm for modeling of a smooth cured surface

완만한 곡면의 마들링을 위한 개선된 FDTD 앨거리즘

The traditional FDTD method in the stair case, the CP-FDTD method, the modified CP-FDTD method, and Dey method have been developed to analyze smooth-curved- surface structures. These methods have some disadvantages such as inaccuracy of the stair-case FDTD, instability of the modified CP-FDTD, and complexity of Dey method. The improved algorithm presented here is a mixed-form of the modified CP algorithm and Dey algorithm. It is to avoid collinear borrowing approximations and to manipulate field update equations. All of preceding methods are applied to the E-plane sectoral horn antenna to get far-field patterns. The validity and applicability of the presented one is to be shown by comparing computed far-field patterns with measured values.
