This paper presents a new iterative locally one-dimensional [mite-difference time-domain(LOD-FDTD) method that has a simpler formula than the original iterative LOD-FDTD formula[l]. There are fewer arithmetic operations than in the original LOD-FDTD scheme. This leads to a reduction of CPU time compared to the original LOD-FDTD method while the new method exhibits the same numerical accuracy as the iterative ADI-FDTD scheme. The number of arithmetic operations shows that the efficiency of this method has been improved approximately 20 % over the original iterative LOD-FDTD method.

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.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the electromagnetic field characteristics of microstrip array antenna with the FDTD(finite difference-time domain method). Finite difference equations of Maxwell's equations are defined in rectangular coordinate systems. To simulate the unbounded problem like a free space, the Mur's absorbing boundary condition is also used. After modeling the microstrip array antenna with the grid structure, the transient response of the field distribution is depicted in the time domain.

In this paper, the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method is used to analyse the characteristics of the coaxial line transmission coefficent, shielding effectiveness, and compared to results of the moment method. The excitation mode of the Gaussian pulse is assumed to be a TEM-mode instead of the TE or TM-mode and in order to eliminate the reflected wave with in short length of the line. Calculated value of shielding effectiveness of the coaxial line by the FDTD are in good agreement with the results of the moment method.

In this paper, a new scheme to calculate the weighting factor of the 2-D isotropic-dispersion finite difference time domain(ID-FDTD) is proposed. The weighting factor in [1] was formulated in free space, so that it may not be optimal in dielectric media. Therefore, the weighting factor was reformulated by considering the material properties and using the least mean square method. As a result, a minimum numerical dispersion error for any dielectric media is guaranteed.

In this paper, the higher order FDTD(Finite-Difference Time-Domain) method is used to obtain the frequency response characteristics of the cylindrical metamaterial slab. FDTD method is one of strongest electromagnetic numerical method which is widely used to analyze the metamaterial structure because of its simplicity and the dispersive FDTD equation which has the dispersive effective dielectric constant and permeability are derived to analyze the metamaterials. This derived dispersive FDTD equation has no errors in analyzing the dielectric materials but there are some time and frequency errors in case of analyzing the metamaterials. We used the higher order FDTD method to obtain the accurate frequency response of the metamaterials. Comparisons between the dispersive FDTD method and the higher order FDTD method are performed in this paper also. From the results, we concluded that more accurate frequency response for various metamaterials applications can be obtained using the proposed method in this paper.

This paper presents the new Compact 2D ADI-FDTD(Alternating-Direction Implicit Finite-Difference Time-Domain) method, where the time step is no longer restricted by the numerical stability condition. This method is an accelerating algorithm for the conventional Compact 2D FDTD method. To validate this algorithm, we have analyzed the dispersion characteristics of the hollow rectangular waveguide and the shielded microstrip line. The results of the proposed method are very well agreed with those of both the conventional analytic method and the Compact 2D FDTD method. The CPU time for analysis of this method is very much reduced compared with the conventional Compact 2D FDTD method. The proposed method is valuable as a fast algorithm in the research of dispersion characteristics of the waveguide structures.

This paper presents the new Compact 2D Haar-wavelet-based MultiResolution Time-Domain method (MRTD) as an accelerating algorithm for the conventional Compact BD Finite-Difference Time-Domain method (FDTD). To validate this algorithm, we analyzed the dispersion characteristics of the hollow rectangular waveguide and dielectric slab-loaded rectangular waveguide. The results of the proposed method are very weal agreed with those of both the conventional analytic method and the Compact 2D FDTD method. The CPU time for analysis of this method is reduced to about a half of the conventional Compact 2D FDTD method. The proposed method is valuable as a fast algorithm in the research of dispersion characteristics of waveguide structures.

A two dimensional (2-D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method based on a novel finite difference scheme is developed to eliminate the numerical dispersion errors. In this paper, numerical dispersion and stability analysis of the new scheme are given, which show that the proposed method is nearly dispersionless, and stable for a larger time step than the standard FDTD method.

Interpretation of time-domain electromagnetic (TEM) data has been made mostly based on one-dimensional (1-D) inversion scheme in Korea. A proper interpretation of TEM data should employ 3-D TEM forward and inverse modeling algorithms. This study developed a 3-D TEM modeling algorithm using a finite difference time-domain (FDTD) method with staggered grid. In numerically solving Maxwell equations, fictitious displacement current is included based on an explicit FDTD method using a central difference approximation scheme. The developed modeling algorithm simulated a small-coil source configuration to be verified against analytic solutions for homogeneous half-space models. Further, TEM responses for a 3-D anomaly are modeled and analyzed. We expect that it will contribute greatly to the precise interpretation of TEM data.
