Abstract
A numerical dispersion analysis (NDA) of the discontinuous Galerkin finite-element time-domain (DG-FETD) method is presented. Vector basis functions under the NDA are with brick and tetrahedral elements. This NDA shows that there exist both normal and spurious modes in the DG-FETD method. A DG-FETD modeling of transverse electromagnetic (TEM) wave propagation in a parallel waveguide is applied to verify the NDA for zeroth-order vector bases. The effect of wave propagation direction and electrical size of elements on numerical dispersion is investigated. It is shown from the NDA for higher-order interpolatory vector bases that the phase error of normal modes can be significantly reduced by using higher-order bases.
