Abstract
One of the dominant aspects governing the accuracy of the FDTD method is the size of the spatial increment used in the model. The effect of having reduced cell size is to increase the computational time and memory requirements. To overcome these problems, sub-gridding technique can be used. This implies that the application of a sub-grid cell would provide improved accuracy without increasing the run time and computer resources considerably. In this paper, we describe the three dimensional sub-gridding technique that is applied to model only the fine structure region of interest. The detailed solution procedure is described and some test geometries were solved by both uniform grid and sub-grid models to validate the suggested approach. While keeping the accuracy, the computational time becomes 6 times faster and the memory requirement is reduced by a factor of 2.5 comparing to the conventional FDTD approach.
