Abstract

The envelope alternating-direction-implicit finite difference time domain (ADI-FDTD) method in 3-D nonuniform meshes was proposed and studied. The phase velocity error for the envelope ADI-FDTD and ADI-FDTD methods in uniform and nonuniform meshes and different temporal increments were studied. A cavity problem was studied using the envelope ADI-FDTD and ADI-FDTD methods in graded meshes and the conventional FDTD method in a uniform mesh. The simulation results show that the envelope ADI-FDTD performs better than the ADI-FDTD in numerical accuracy.
