S. Selleri et al., COMPARISON BETWEEN FDTD AND HYBRID FDTD-FETD APPLIED TO SCATTERING AND ANTENNA PROBLEMS, Microwave and optical technology letters, 18(4), 1998, pp. 247-250
An investigation of the recently developed numerical technique based o
n both the finite-element time-domain (FETD) method and the finite-dif
ference time-domain (FDTD) method is presented This hybrid technique,
exploiting the advantages of both methods, seems very promising. Valid
ation through comparison with the 2-D canonical problem, as well as an
example of a configuration which cannot be easily treated with either
of the two methods, are reported. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
