The finite-Difference Time Domain method (FDTD) derives the discrete form of the Maxwell¡¦s equations with second-order central difference with the electromagnetic distribution of the Yee space lattice, and computes the value of the electric field and magnetic field in the simulation space using leapfrog for time derivatives. This method is different from the frequency domain method which needs to analyze its value individually (ex. Finite Element method). The frequency domain method needs to take a long time for analyzing the response on each spectrum point when the bandwidth is very wide. The advantage of time domain analysis is to obtain the complete frequency response from the simulation value through Fourier Transform method.
It¡¦s difficult to combine the electromagnetic analysis with the lumped circuit simulation in current simulation CAD. Thereby the performance of the simulation result and the practical implementation always causes error. The FDTD method is the full-wave algorithm which can also simulate the lump element, nonlinear element or active element in simulation space by linking to SPICE or S-parameter. In this dissertation, an efficient scheme for processing arbitrary one-port devices in the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is proposed. Generally speaking, methods invoking analytic pre-processing of the device¡¦s V-I relations (admittance or impedance) are computationally more efficient than methods employing numerical procedure to iteratively process the device at each time step. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by comparison with results from the equivalent current-source method and is numerically stable.
