Abstract
Recently, the shift operator finite difference time domain (SO-FDTD) method has been introduced by Yang [Computer Physics Communications 180 (1) (2009) 55–60] for modeling dispersive electromagnetic applications. This letter discuss the equivalence of this scheme and the well-known bilinear frequency approximation technique used in the field of digital signal processing. Although the SO-FDTD scheme looks different at first glance, it has been observed that it is fully equivalent to the bilinear frequency approximation technique. Consequently, the SO-FDTD scheme is indeed a bilinear transform operation which is unfortunately not cited by the author.
