HIE-FDTD Method for Hybrid System With Lumped Elements and Conductive Media

In this letter, we extend the 3-D HIE-FDTD method to the simulation of hybrid electromagnetic system including the linear/nonlinear lumped elements and the conductive media. First, numerical formulation of the HIE-FDTD method for the conductive media and the lumped elements are presented. Furthermore, we simulated the crosstalk effect among the coupled multi-conductor lines, and then the accuracy and effectiveness are validated by the comparison of our method with the conventional FDTD method and the ADI-FDTD method.
