This paper makes a comparison study by using both the pseudospectral time-domain (PSTD) and finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) methods for a two-dimensional (2-D) scattering analysis. The time-domain incident plane-wave pulse used in the PSTD technique is herewith simulated with an initial-condition excitation technique to eliminate the unwanted Gibbs phenomenon. The pure scattered-field formulation is utilized to surmount the difficulty of generation of the incident field, and a PSTD near-to-far-zone field transform is developed for the analysis of the scattering width (SW) of targets. It is found that the PSTD computed results agree well with those derived from the FDTD method, while the PSTD requires much less computational space and CPU time. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An approach to hybridization of the method of moments and the finite-difference time-domain method is investigated in this paper. This hybrid method is capable of analyzing a system of multiple discrete regions by employing the principle of equivalent sources to excite their coupling surfaces. The case of multiple sources in the presence of scattering objects is discussed. To develop the approach and test its validity, some examples are given using the same numerical method in multiple regions: the results compare well with other available data, The theory of the heterogeneous hybrid method is then developed and validated. It is shown that this technique has the great advantage of accurately modeling complex and arbitrarily oriented mobile telephone handset antennas in the proximity of a detailed voxel representation of the human head, as required for safety and radiation pattern assessments.

The linear wave equation in a lossless medium is time reversible, i.e., every solution p(x, t) has a temporal mirror solution p(x, -t). Analysis shows that time reversal also holds for the lossless nonlinear wave equation. In both cases, time-reversal invariance is violated when losses are present. For nonlinear propagation loses cannot normally be ignored;they are necessary to prevent the occurrence of multivalued waveforms. Further analysis of the nonlinear wave equation shows that amplification of a time-reversed pulse at the array elements also leads to a violation of time reversal even for lossless nonlinear acoustics. Numerical simulations are used to illustrate the effect of nonlinearity on the ability of a time-reversal system to effectively focus on a target in an absorbing fluid medium. We consider both the amplitude and arrival time of retrodirected pulses. The numerical results confirm that both shock generation (with the accompanying absorption) and amplification at the array, adversely affect the ability of a time-reversal system to form strong retrodirective sound fields.

A phased array analysis is presented where the coupling between antenna elements and the beam steering is computed in the timedomain using a hybrid finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) and Kirchhoff transform method. The coupled currents are combined with the appropriate time delays to give the total element current, which is then used in conjunction with the voltage excitation to produce the driving point admittance as a function of frequency for a given beam direction.

A novel meandered planar inverted-F antenna with a single feed is presented for triple-frequency operation. Using two shorting strips, good impedance matching is achieved in three bands. This compact low-profile design shows characteristics of near-omnidirectional radiation patterns with minimal hand effects, which is preferable for application in wireless communications.

A source model can influence FDTD numerical performance although it may be a fictitious source in some FDTD computations. The current source models for FDTD excitation, both resistance free and resistive, and presented, respectively, which are directly derived from Maxwell's equations. The former is simple in implementation and high in computational accuracy by comparison with a voltage source excitation, and the latter possesses stability,and can reduce the computation time as the resistance is properly chosen which means it an be optimized in terms of its internal resistance.

Experimental and calculated results based on the finite-difference time-domain method are presented on the impedance and radiation characteristics of the classic shorted quarterwave patch. It is found that, for foam substrates with relative permittivity close to unity, the bandwidths of the quarterwave patches are significantly larger than the halfwave patches. On the other hand, for microwave substrates with relative permittivites equal to 2.32 and 4.0. the bandwidths of quarterwave patches are less than those of halfwave patches, owing to the excitation of surface waves. The maximum gain in the case of foam substrate is in the range of 2-3.5dBi, occurring 0-45 degrees from broadside, depending on the substrate thickness. The use of a partial short, while reducing the resonant frequency, also decreases the bandwidth. The paper also describes the application of the shorting-wall principle to realise a compact wideband L-probe patch antenna.

In this paper, the authors present a general subgridding scheme for enhancing the finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) algorithm. It is different from the conventional approaches in that it does not employ weighed averages of the electric or magnetic fields in the transition region from the coarse to the fine region, but instead employs a novel procedure for transferring the information between the two regions. We illustrate the application of the subgridding algorithm by considering a refinement factor of 5, and provide validation of the results obtained. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
