Abstract
In this paper, an accurate and computationally implicit 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method based on the unconditionally stable Crank–Nicolson scheme (3D CN-FDTD) is presented. The source excitation in 3D CN-FDTD is described and the numerical simulation of the 3D CN-FDTD method is demonstrated through numerical examples. The results of this method, the ADI-FDTD method, and traditional FDTD schemes are compared. A good agreement is obtained for the 3D CN-FDTD method with time steps greatly more than the Courant–Friedrich–Levy (CFL) limit and the traditional Yee FDTD method. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
