Abstract
In this letter, we propose a high-accuracy low-cost hybrid finite-difference time-domain (FDTD)/alternating-direction-implicit parabolic equation (ADI-PE) method for ultralarge-scale electromagnetic simulation on a distributed computing platform. The hybrid method offers fast and precise 3-D deterministic radio-wave propagation predictions in a difficult-terrain scenario with specific detailed structures in both near field and far field. Since the typical parallel ADI-PE method suffers from high-frequency data communication between different calculation cores, which greatly discount simulation efficiency in bandwidth-constrained environments, we adopt a Woodbury-formula-based parallel algorithm to find inverse matrixes of tridiagonal matrixes so that implicit and explicit steps of the PE can be finished in local computing cores. Simulation results for the instrument landing system (ILS) demonstrate the capability of the proposed method in achieving the state-of-the-art performance.
