Abstract
A conformal leapfrog alternating direction implicit finite-difference time-domain (CLeapfrog ADI-FDTD) method based on conformal technique was proposed in the article. Compared with the conventional FDTD method, the proposed method decreased the step approximation error, it was used to simulate the irregular object whose boundary couldnt match the orthogonal grid; at the same time, this method could have a high efficiency because leapfrog alternating direction implicit finite-difference time-domain (Leapfrog ADI-FDTD) is a method with unconditional stability. However, CLeapfrog ADI-FDTD method may lose the stability expected with the Leapfrog ADI-FDTD schemes, and instability factor in CLeapfrog ADI-FDTD was analyzed through eigenvalue of the growth matrix, then a new method named improved conformal leapfrog alternating direction implicit finite-difference time-domain (ICLeapfrog ADI-FDTD) with a modified conformal technique was proposed, which could improve the stability without losing the calculation accuracy. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed ICLeapfrog ADI-FDTD method were verified by numerical results.
