Abstract

The finite difference time domain (FDTD) technique is an approach to efficiently investigate the broadband characteristics of periodic structures. The challenge in this paper is to develop an efficient and powerful computational engine utilizing the FDTD/Prony method to obtain the electromagnetic characteristics of the periodic structures composed of complex scatterers of dielectrics and conductors of arbitrary shape. It is demonstrated that the FDTD/Prony technique is a powerful engine in the characterization of complex electromagnetic structures.
