  • Abstract
    The current source implementation for the alternating-direction implicit finite-difference time-domain (ADI-FDTD) method is examined in this letter. By regarding the ADI-FDTD method as an approximate factorization of the Crank-Nicolson scheme, current source is naturally coupled into simulations. As a result, field distribution is much more improved and free of asymmetry.
