Data Extrapolation in the FDTD Method

The Finite-Difference Time-Domain method ( FDTD ) is a numerical method introduced by K. S. Yee in 1966. However , it needs so much time to simulate circuits by applying the FDTD method and some extensional methods for simulating circuits are still incomplete . Therefore, the author combine the FDTD method with the data extrapolation method to improve the simulation effect.
When applying the FDTD method to simulate circuits, it needs a large number of time steps; furthermore, if the structure we simulated is complicated, the simulation time will be so much longer that the efficiency of simulation will be bad as well. The author decrease the number of time steps of the FDTD method, and then extrapolate the time-domain data to reconstruct the complete frequency response, therefore, we can save the simulation time as well because the number of the time steps of the FDTD method decreased.
Furthermore, in the thesis, we also introduce a new FDTD method combined with the S-parameter Matrix, called ¡§S-parameter Matrix method¡¨. People can simulate circuits without deriving the equivalent circuit by applying the S-parameter Matrix method. One only have to obtain the S-parameter Matrix by measurement, data sheet, calculation, etc, and then we translate it to time domain data by the IFT technique to apply the FDTD calculation , this way, we avoid the difficulty of deriving the equivalent circuit of general microwave circuits. However, the S-parameter data we can obtain are often limited in a finite bandwidth, we make it to be extrapolated to obtain the complete time-domain response, and this way, the S-parameter Matrix method can by apply to simulate circuits.
