Abstract

In this letter, by introducing artificial anisotropy into computational space, a simple and efficient approach to reduce numerical dispersion of the two-dimensional alternating direction implicit finite-difference time-domain (ADI-FDTD) method is proposed. It is shown that performance of the ADI-FDTD method can be improved significantly for both single frequency simulations and relatively wideband problems. Consequently, the usefulness and effectiveness of the ADI-FDTD method can be notably enhanced.
