In this letter, finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) computed radiation patterns of mobile telephones are carefully compared with those measured in our laboratory. The question on the capability of the FDTD method to correctly predict the radiated electromagnetic fields of today’s structurally complex mobile telephones is addressed. Two commercially available cellular telephones equipped with t...

In this paper, an advanced numerical technique is proposed for a low-frequency electromagnetic field simulation. The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is one of the best methods for analyzing electromagnetic field problems, which require high levels of precision, such as a heterogeneous whole-body voxel human model. However, directly using the standard FDTD method in the quasi-static ...

In this paper, a finite-difference time-domain method that is free of the constraint of the Courant stability condition is presented for solving electromagnetic problems. In it, the alternating direction implicit (ADI) technique is applied in formulating the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm. Although the resulting formulations are computationally more complicate than the conventio...

In this paper a novel method for computing the radiation pattern and also the input impedance of a planar rectangular micro-strip antenna array with consideration of mutual coupling and mutual impedance is presented. Each two triangles with a common edge make an Edge element or RWG. Any such edge element is considered as an infinitesimal dipole. The electrical currents over each dipole can be c...

A novel MatLab-based diffraction tool for the investigation of scattered fields around a two-dimensional Perfectly Electric Conductor (PEC) wedge is introduced. Analytical (Exact by Integral, as well as some High Frequency Asymptotic (HFA) techniques) and numerical (Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD)) models are included. The FDTD staircase modeling problems are removed by the application of ...
