| Abstract: | A second-order in time fourth-order in space modified finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) scheme for three dimensional electromagnetic problems "M3d/sub 24/" is presented. The algorithm enables the numerical phase error to be minimized, so that it leads to high accuracy with low resolution grids. The advantage of this method is demonstrated by considering the long distance propagation of the wave radiated from a time harmonic elementary dipole using a low resolution grid, and comparing the results with other FDTD schemes. |
