Abstract
A parallel implementation of the finite difference time-domain algorit hm for the analysis of planar microwave circuits is presented in this paper. For this the FDTD mesh is divided in equal-sized subspaces. Eve ry processor of the parallel computer calculates the field in one subs pace. Furthermore detailed efficiency investigations are made to predi ct the timing performance of the parallel FDTD simulator.
