Recent developments in the design of graphics processing units (GPUs) have made it possible to use these devices as alternatives to central processor units (CPUs) and perform high performance scientific computing on them. Though several implementations of finitedifference time-domain (FDTD) method have been reported, the unavailability of high level languages to program graphics cards had been ...

Arbitrarily-shaped dispersive media can be treated with the contour-path (DCP) FDTD method. We extend DCP-FDTD method for analysis of a periodic structure to case at oblique incidence. A trapezoidal recursive convolution technique is used incorporate into The transmission characteristics metallic cylinder array are evaluated and discussed. It found that present gives almost same solution as con...

We demonstrate a Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) phase methodology to estimate resonant wavelengths in Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity structures. We validate the phase method in a conventional Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) structure using a transfer-matrix method, and compare results with a FDTD reflectance method. We extend this approach to a Sub-Wavelength Grating (SWG) and a P...

|This paper presents the investigations in the electric performance of di¬erential signalling transmission lines used for high speed integrated circuits (IC’s) and boards by using the parallelized ­ nite-di¬erence time-domain (FDTD) method. The FDTD method is ­ rstly parallelized with single-program multipledata (SPMD) architecture using the MPI protocol and experimentally validated. The key el...

This paper analyzes dielectric resonators using the FDTD method. Resonant frequencies and quality factors are calculated using Prony's method instead of the classical FFT

Lightning protection system (LPS) for wind power generation has become an important public issue due to greatly increasing installations of wind turbines (WTs) worldwide. Grounding system is one of the most important components required for appropriate LPS for WTs. Although the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for solving Maxwell`s equations is difficult for computing earth potential...

The field of computational electromagnetics (CEM) was significantly broadened by the pioneer work of Yee, when the time-dependent Maxwell’s equations are solved numerically in an isotropic medium [1]. This algorithm is called finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) Method, and it has second-order accuracy in temporal and spatial domain [2]. Since FDTD method is relatively simple to implement, effi...

The space and time discretization inherent to all FDTD schemes introduce non-physical dispersion errors, i.e. deviations of the speed of sound from the theoretical value predicted by the governing Euler differential equations. A general methodology for computing this dispersion error via straightforward numerical simulations of the FDTD schemes is presented. The method is shown to provide remar...
