Abstract

AbstractThe nonstandard FDTD method has been proposed for highly accurate numerical analysis of large structures. However, the conventional nonstandard FDTD has been defined only with isotropic grids, and hence the treatment of arbitrary cavity shapes has been severely restricted. In order to remove this restriction in this paper, the nonstandard FDTD method is extended to more general noniso‐tropic grids. First, the FD Laplacian for the nonisotropic grids is newly defined. From the expression for decomposition by the first‐order difference operator, the nonstandard FDTD equations are derived for nonisotropic grids. The physical meaning of the nonstandard FD method used in the nonstandard FDTD method is clarified. Next, by means of the nonstandard FDTD method extended to nonisotropic grids, a scattering analysis of large‐scale cavities is performed and its effectiveness is demonstrated. The results obtained by the nonstandard FDTD method agree well with the measured values, confirming that the nonstandard FDTD method is effective as a highly accurate scattering analysis method for large‐scale cavities. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Electron Comm Jpn Pt 2, 84(12): 8–16, 2001
