Abstract
A new implementation of perfectly matched layer (PML) using the recursive-convolution technique is introduced for an alternating-direction implicit (ADI) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Based on a complex frequency-shifted (CFS) scaling function, this PML boundary condition is highly effective at absorbing low-frequency evanescent waves. The numerical results show that, compared with its previously suggested analogue, the new method improves the reflection error by 30 dB for large time-step sizes

Abstract
Unconditionally stable formulations of the perfectly matched layer (PML) are presented for truncating linear dispersive finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) grids. In the proposed formulations, the -transform theory is employed in the alternating-direction implicit FDTD (ADI-FDTD) algorithm to obtain update equations for the field components in dispersive media. The validity of the proposed formulations is shown through a numerical example carried out in 1D linear Lorentz dispersive FDTD domain.

Keywords

Abstract
This paper presents a simple approach to determine the time-step size required in the alternate-direction-implicit finite-difference time-domain (ADI-FDTD) method in order to obtain a desired numerical dispersion accuracy. The Courant number, the desired dispersion accuracy, and the maximum mesh size max = max(x, y, z) are governed by the numerical dispersion relation, which can be solved by a simple root-finding algorithm to evaluate the Courant number and hence the time-step size for a given mesh size and accuracy. The time-step size is independent of the aspect ratio. To determine if ADI-FDTD is more efficient than the Yee's FDTD, this paper provides a simple relation to evaluate the relative Courant-Friedrich-Levy number (CFLN) from the Courant number and the aspect ratio. The ADI-FDTD method is more efficient than Yee's FDTD when the aspect ratio is high or the mesh density is very large.

Abstract
Subgridding has been a challenge in FDTD modelling. While it can significantly decrease memory requirements by using coarse and dense grids or meshes wherever they are needed, a small time step must normally be applied to the dense or fine mesh due to the Courant-Friedrich-Levy (CFL) stability condition. In this paper, a technique that combines FDTD and ADI-FDTD methods for subgridding is proposed to circumvent the problem. The solution domain is divided into coarse grid regions and fine subgridded regions whenever necessary. The conventional FDTD is then applied to the coarse grid regions, while the ADI-FDTD is used in the finely subgridded regions. In comparison with subgridding schemes using solely the conventional FDTD, the hybrid method allows the use of a much larger time step and therefore reduces the CPU time. In comparison between the subgridding scheme and pure ADI-FDTD schemes, the hybrid method minimizes the use of the memory because the conventional FDTD algorithm is applied to the coarse grid region. Numerical examples are given to validate these advantages.
