FDTD Modeling of Arbitrary Linear Lumped Networks Using Piecewise Linear Recursive Convolution Technique

Abstract

Abstract-Based on the piecewise linear recursive convolution (PLRC) technique, FDTD modeling of Arbitrary linear lumped networks is studied in this paper, including one-port networks and two-port networks. Their general FDTD iterative formulations are obtained. Firstly, the admittance parameters in Laplace domain of lumped network are written as a summation form of several rational fractions; then the time domain admittance parameters can be obtained by means of inverse Fourier transform technique. Finally the time domain results are directly incorporated into the MaxwellAmpere's difference equation using the PLRC technique. It is worth pointing out that this approach preserves the second-order accuracy and the explicit nature of the conventional FDTD method. The proposed technique can be extended to model arbitrary linear multiport lumped networks. To show the validity of the proposed algorithm, we analyze two microstrip circuits including lumped networks. The results are compared with those obtained from the Z-transform technique and the good agreement is achieved. 328Chen and Chu

System Level Integration of Simulation Methods for High Data-Rate Transmission Circuit Design Applications

“…Furthermore, higher-order modes of propagation may also easily be excited by the discontinuities. Thus, how to derive adequate equivalent networks that can take care of the wideband feature and rather complicated coupling schemes at the same time has casted very challenging tasks on the conventional approaches [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. In this paper, system level integration of simulation methods for high data-rate transmission circuit design applications is proposed.…”

Compact 2-D Full-Wave Order-Marching Time-Domain Method With a Memory-Redued Technique

“…The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method has been widely used for numerical analysis because of its accuracy and simplicity [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. A compact two-dimensional (2-D) scheme is applied to fullwave analysis of uniform and infinitely long transmission lines to reduce memory requirement and shorten computation time [12,13].…”

The Adi-FDTD Method Including Lumped Networks Using Piecewise Linear Recursive Convolution Technique

“…The key point of researching the LN-FDTD method is to import the current expression of lumped network into the Maxwell's equations. Generally, there are three common methods to derive the current expression at the loaded place: directly deducing by the volt-ampere characteristic [5], basing on the piecewise linear recursive convolution (PLRC) technique [6][7][8], using Z-transform approach [9][10][11][12]. Furthermore, the PLRC technique and Z-transform can be applied to model arbitrary linear lumped network, whereas arbitrary linear lumped network is difficult to be modeled by the voltampere characteristic.…”
