C. Wang et al., Q-FACTOR OF A RESONATOR BY THE FINITE-DIFFERENCE TIM-DOMAIN METHOD INCORPORATING PERTURBATION TECHNIQUES, Electronics Letters, 29(21), 1993, pp. 1866-1867
A finite-difference time-domain method incorporating perturbation tech
niques is used to calculate the Q factors of resonators with variable
conductivities of conductor and dielectric. Several kinds of the reson
ators including empty cavities and a dielectric resonator are studied
by this method. The numerical results are shown to be in excellent agr
eement with the rigorous theoretical solutions.
