In this paper, two-dimensional(2-D) Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD) method using the domain decomposition method is proposed. We calculated the electromagnetic scattering field of a two dimensional rectangular Perfect Electric Conductor(PEC) structure using the 2-D FDTD method with Schur complement method as a domain decomposition method. Four domain decomposition and eight domain decomposition are applied for the analysis of the proposed structure. To validate the simulation results, the general 2-D FDTD algorithm for the total domain are applied to the same structure and the results show good agreement with the 2-D FDTD using the domain decomposition method.

In this paper, the impedance-tuned monopole microstrip antenna designed for PCS is analyzed using finite difference time domain(FDTD) method. The perfectly matched layer(PML) absorbing material condition proposed by Berenger is used for the truncation of finite difference time domain lattice. A Gaussian pulse is selected as an excitation signal and a resistive voltage source model is used to reduce the error caused by the reflection waves. The FDTD method is inherently a near field technique. Therefore, the near field to far field transformation is need to compute far field antenna parameters such as radiation patterns and gain. The near field to far field transformation can be done both in the time domain and the frequency domain. We use the frequency domain transformation to compute the far field radiation patterns at single frequency. All the numerical results obtained by the FDTD method are compared with simulation results using the HFSS software. Good agreements are obtained in all cases.

In this paper, a planar antenna that is small and light, is designed and analyzed aiming handset antenna of IMT-2000. Employing the Ensemble simulator based on a MoM, design-parameters are found to determine a resonant frequency. Therefore, it is analyzed with the Ensemble simulation and FDTD numerical for resonating at the allocated frequency for IMT-2000 in the fixed antenna dimension of 21$^{\circ}$wing angle that is a design parameter. Analyzing with FDTD method, Though the results of FDTD are very exact, this analysis introduces errors due to the staircasing approximation in the slope of bowtie. To reduce this error, it is divided to 4-ranges where the cell contains the boundary of perfect conductor/free space. Then, each range is calculated by different by different equation, which modify the H-field to add the component of the area and length of the cell filled with free space. Therefore, the modified FDTD algorithm provided with a narrow bandwidth of return loss calculated with a standard FDTD algorithm that can be extended to the desired ranges.

This work presents an accurate finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) dispersive modeling of concrete materials with different water/cement ratios in 50 MHz to 1 GHz. A quadratic complex rational function (QCRF) is employed for dispersive modeling of the relative permittivity of concrete materials. To improve the curve fitting of the QCRF model, the Newton iterative method is applied to determine a weighting factor. Numerical examples validate the accuracy of the proposed dispersive FDTD modeling.

An unconditionally stable compact 2D Alternating-Direction Implicit (ADI) FDTD method for calculating dispersion characteristics of waveguide structures is proposed. The numerical stability and numerical dispersion relation of the proposed method are also presented and discussed. Numerical wavelengths for the dominant and higher order modes in a hollow waveguide are obtained from numerical simulations and compared with those from the analytical dispersion relation. The numerical results show that the proposed scheme has the potential to successfully analyze a class of waveguides having locally fine geometry with reduced numerical costs.

We present simulation methods to accurately determine the transmission efficiency and far-field patterns (FFPs) of a shallow-etched waveguide grating antenna (WGA) formed on a silicon-on-insulator wafer based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach. The directionality and the FFP of a WGA with >1-mm in length can be obtained reliably by simulating a truncated WGA structure using a three-dimensional FDTD method and a full-scale WGA using a two-dimensional FDTD with the effective index method. The developed FDTD methods are applied to the simulation of an optical phased array (OPA) composed of a uniformly spaced WGA array, and the steering-angle dependent transmission efficiency and FFPs are obtained in OPA structures having up to 128-channel WGAs.

In this paper, an analytical laser ablation model with Maxwell equation will be addressed by considering relationship between laser ablation and material. The Maxwell equation consists of four equations: two Gauss laws for electric and magnetic fields, Faraday's law, and Ampere's law. This analytical model will be calculated by employing Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD). This method also makes it possible to simulate the laser beam propagation in a wide range of materials, such as metals, semiconductors, and dielectrics. Therefore, in this study, a numerical model for short pulse laser interaction with materials is developed, focusing on the accurate description of laser beam propagation and ablation process into the material with each pulse.

This paper has been studied a ADI-FDTD(Alternating Direction Implicit Finite Difference Time Domain ) algorithm using an alternating Direction time-stepping scheme for GPR( Ground-Penetrating Radar ) system simulation. We did the numerical formulations for three-dimensional ADI-FDTD algorithm and PML(Perfect Matched Layer), and made an simple experiment on a arbitrary cube with programed algorithms. And then we compared its computed results with those of conventional FDTD.

In wireless environment such as wireless LAN, proper location of wireless LAN AP allows us to take an effective coverage to provide good wireless communication service. To simulate wireless environment, FDTD formulation is introduced and Gaussian pulse injection in grid space is considered to be replaced wireless LAN AP. So structural effect corresponding to location of arbitrary obstacle must be considered, and its received gain is estimated. An obstacle in scattering field should be modeled to be conductor and concrete wall and its diffraction effect for some cross wall is evaluated between transmitter and receiver point.
