Abstract

The two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (2-D FDTD) method is undeniably efficient for full-wave analysis of uniform transmission lines. However, conventional 2-D FDTD method ignores the spatial attenuation along the propagation direction and yields approximate results. We propose a new 2-D FDTD method for extracting exact attenuation constants of lossy transmission lines. In the proposed method, we take the variation of field components with the propagation direction into consideration and describe an iterative process for finding exact attenuation constants. Numerical experiments show that, compared with the conventional 2-D FDTD method, results given by the iterative process agree much better with analytical solutions or measured data.
