A standard cell hardware implementation for finite-difference time domain (FDTD) calculation
IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest, 2003, 2003Several inherent characteristics make the Finite-Difference Time Domain (FDTD) algorithm almost ideal for the analysis of a wide class of microwave and high-frequency circuits as testified by the great number of papers that appeared in the last two decades and by the presence of many software packages on the present market.

Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) analysis of magnetic diffusion
IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility, 1994Problems with very slow waveforms or very long diffusion times may be difficult to treat using finite-difference time-domain techniques because of the Courant stability condition. Problems of this class, however, often prove to have a response which does not depend on the speed of light.

MR/FDTD: A multiple-region finite-difference--time-domain method
Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, 1997Multiple-region FDTD (MR/FDTD), an extension of classical FDTD to multiple subregions within a problem domain, is introduced. In MR/FDTD the problem domain is broken into several independent FDTD subregion lattices. The subregions lattices are terminated with the use of a surface integrated radiation boundary condition applied simultaneously to all ...

Conformal finite difference time-domain (FDTD) for modeling frequency selective surface
2013 Cross Strait Quad-Regional Radio Science and Wireless Technology Conference, 2013Conformal finite-difference time-domain (CFDTD) is used for solving frequency selective surface in this paper. This approach is easy to implement and is numerically stable. Some models are simulated to demonstrate the accuracy and fast computation time of CFDTD.

Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) Analysis of Nonlinear Optical Waveguiding Devices
Integrated Photonics Research, 1995In this work we have developed the theory required for a nonlinear FDTD simulator, including the propagator, the implementation of the nonlinearity, boundary and stability conditions, and source get eration. We validated the simulator by reproducing the published results for a self-guiding structure [1] and for a nonlinear directional coupler [2].

Modeling of periodic structures using the finite difference time domain (FDTD)
IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium. 1999 Digest. Held in conjunction with: USNC/URSI National Radio Science Meeting (Cat. No.99CH37010), 2003Two-dimensional planar periodic structures find many applications in practice because of their spatial filtering characteristics. A periodic array of conducting patch or aperture elements is often referred to as a frequency selective surface (FSS), or a dichroic filter.

A distributed implementation of the finite difference time‐domain (FDTD) method
International Journal of Numerical Modelling: Electronic Networks, Devices and Fields, 1995AbstractThe finite difference time‐domain (FDTD) method is a well known numerical technique that has been used to solve electromagnetic boundary value problems. However, the method requires large computational resources to solve a problem, restricting its use on sequential computers to small problems.This has led to the use of expensive supercomputers ...

Optical disk structure analysis with finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method
SPIE Proceedings, 2003A method of high-density optical disk structure design using computational electromagnetic FDTD analysis is proposed. A staircase method is used to simulate the realistic sidewall geometrical structure of the land-groove of phase-change optical disk. The phase-change materials appear as different optical characteristics under irradiation of different ...
