umerical simulations are performed to estimate how strongly the manufacturing error of an open-ended coaxial probe affects its measured complex permittivity of a contacted medium. The reflection coefficients of several dielectric materials contacted with an open-ended coaxial probe are calculated by employing the FDTD method. And then those complex permittivities are reconstructed by applying the calculated reflection coefficients into a new imaginary transmission-line model, which reveals more physically meaningful than the conventional model. It is found that the reconstructed complex permittivities suffer from significant error in spite of a slight imperfection of open-ended coaxial probe.

Various techniques for noninvasively focus microwave energy on lesions have been proposed for thermotherapy. To focus the microwave energy on the lesion, a focusing parameter, which is referred to as the magnitude and phase of microwaves radiated from an external array antenna, is very important. Although the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD)-based time-reversal (TR) focusing algorithm is widely used, it has a long processing time if the focusing target position changes or if optimization is needed. We propose a technique to obtain multistatic data (MSD) based on Green's function and use it to derive the focusing parameters. Computer simulations were used to evaluate the electric fields inside the object using the FDTD method and Green's function as well as to compare the focusing parameters using FDTD- and MSD-based TR focusing algorithms. Regardless of the use of Green's function, the processing time of MSD-based TR focusing algorithms reduces to approximately 1/2 or 1/590 compared with the FDTD-based algorithm. In addition, we optimize the focusing parameters to eliminate hotspots, which are unnecessary focusing positions, by adding phase-reversed electric fields and confirm hotspot suppression through simulations.

According to rapid increment of demand for wireless Local Area Network (LAN), the HyperLAN of 5.1-533GHz and 5.725-5.825GHz is newly allocated for wireless LAM in many regions over the world. Also, because most of mobile communication equipments are small, the size of antenna is important factor of effective design. In this paper, the compacted and wide bandwidth antenna is designed for wireless LAN at 5GHz band. Although the structure of U-shaped slot antenna is simple, It has large bandwidth of $10-40\%$. Also, the U-slot antenna has good radiation pattern. However, in general, the size of U-slot antenna is large. Therefore, it is difficult to apply to wireless equipment such as PDA and Notebook. This proposed antenna has a wide bandwidth by U-shaped slot in rectangular patch and is compacted by using two layered dielectric substrates and foam. For the design of U-slot antenna, the Finite Difference Time Domain method is applied. Also, the method of MPI parallel program is used for the enhancement of the analyzing speed of the FDTD method.

This paper analyzed the ground bounce caused by the power plane resonance in the multilayered printed circuit board(PCB) using the Haar-wavelet-based Multiresolution Time-Domain (MRTD). In conventional Finite-Difference Time-Domain(FDTD), the highly fine vertical cell is needed to represent the distance between $V_{cc}$ plane and ground plane since the two planes are very close. Therefore the time step $\Deltat$ must be very small to satisfy the stability condition. As a result, a large number of iterations are needed to obtain the response in wanted time. For this problem, this paper showed that the computation time can be reduced by application of the MRTD method. The results obtained by the MRTD agree very well with those by FDTD method and analytic solutions. In conclusion, this paper proved the efficiency and accuracy of MRTD method for analyzing the EMI/EMC problems in PCB.

This paper presents a Monte-Carlo FDTD technique to determine the scattered field from a perfectly conducting surface like a sea surface, from which the useful information on the incoherent pattern tendency could be observed. A one-dimensional sea surface used to analysis scattering was generated using the Pierson-Moskowitz model. In order to verify the numerical results by this technique, these results are compared with those of the small perturbation method, which show a good match between them. To investigate the incoherent pattern tendency involved, the dependence of the back scattering coefficients on the different wind speed(U) is discussed for the back scattering case.

This paper presents an analytical formulation of the numerical reflection coefficient of the ID-FDTD scheme at the planar dielectric boundary for a TM wave incidence. The reflection coefficient is formulated in an approximate manner, and the accuracy of this method is numerically verified. The effective dielectric constant for a grid on the interface is obtained, and then reduced to that of the Yee scheme for a small cell size.

NRD(Nonradiative Dielectric) 가이드 내 누설파(leaky wave)를 줄이기 위해 최근 주기 구조를 도입한 모델이 제안되었다. 그러나 NRD 가이드 내의 주기구조에 대한 상세한 특성 해석은 아직 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 FDTD(Finite Difference Time Domain) 기법을 이용하여 주기 구조를 삽입한 NRD 가이드의 전파 특성을 해석하고자 한다. 해석 결과는 주기 구조의 모델 변화. 즉 공기층의 크기, 간격 개수 등에 따라서 누설이 어떻게 변화하는 지를 보여준다.

In this paper, a number of double-layered microwave integrated circuits (MIC) have been designed and analyzed based on a developed finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) solver. The solver was first validated through comparisons of the computed results with those previously published throughout the literature. Subsequently, various double-layered MIC printed on both isotropic and anisotropic substrates and superstrates, which are frequently encountered in printed circuit boards (PCB), have been designed and analyzed. It was found that in addition to protecting circuits, the added superstrate layer can increase freedoms of design and improve circuit performance, and that the FDTD is indeed a robust and versatile tool for multilayer circuit design.
