Abstract
A novel Conformal Finite-Difference Time-Domain based on Alternating-Direction Implicit Method(ADI-CFDTD) used to calculate the microwave attenuation on coplanar waveguide(CPW) with complicated cross-section up to 200GHz is presented. This ADI-CFDTD algorithm is the combination of conformal algorithm dealing with the deformed cell with ADI-FDTD, and has unconditionally stable. The difference equations are derived from the Faraday's and Ampere's law. To validate its accuracy and efficiency, as an example, a CPW fabricated on lithium niobate is proposed. Numerical results demonstrate that this new ADI-CFDTD algorithm has more accuracy than that of quasi-static and CFDTD and shows good agreement with experiment data. When frequency is up to millimeter wave band the radiation loss is not negligible in total power loss.
