Abstract
AbstractThis Letter introduces a novel impedance boundary condition (IBC) for the matched termination of waveguide ports in finite‐difference–time‐domain (FDTD) simulators. It is based on approximating the wave impedance by a rational function over the frequency band of interest. To show the validity of the proposed IBC, the reflection coefficient of a wideband matched 90° H‐plane corner in rectangular waveguide is computed. The results obtained, which are less than −45 dB over the whole waveguide band, are in good agreement with those obtained by a commercial finite‐element simulator. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
