Numerical analysis of scattering in 2-D space by wave equation-based FDTD method

Abstract

This paper presents the novel concept of the condensed node FDTD method. The previous approach by the same authors can update only E/sub e/ of the 2-D TM mode, and cannot update H/sub x/ and H/sub y/. This paper studies the update of such components. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is evaluated in comparison with Yee's (1966) FDTD method.
