A second order in time-fourth order in space modified finite difference time domain algorithm for 3D electromagnetic problems is presented. The algorithm enables the numerical phase error to be minimized, so that it leads to high accuracy with low resolution grids. Good results for long distance propagation in the case of radiation from time harmonic elementary dipole show the advantage of this method with low resolution compared to the previous finite difference time domain methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
