Abstract

In this paper, an efficient three-dimensional Laguerre-based finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is used to analyze planar circuits. An iterative procedure is introduced to improve the accuracy. Both the time-domain waveforms and the S-parameters are presented. The numerical results show that at the comparable accuracy, the efficiency of the Laguerre-based FDTD method with an iterative procedure is superior to the FDTD method and alternating-direction implicit (ADI) FDTD method.
