Xj. Zhou et al., DESIGN OF EXCITATION SOURCE IN COMPUTING CUTOFF FREQUENCIES OF WAVE-GUIDES BY 2D-FDTD METHOD, Hongwai yu haomibo xuebao, 17(3), 1998, pp. 236-240
The excitation must match with the mode patterns when computing cut-of
f frequencies of waveguides by 2D-FDTD method. This paper analyzed the
exciting effect of electric sheet sources, filament sources and point
sources and gave the design method of excitation in rectangular waveg
uides for computing cut-off frequencies by 2D-FDTD. By this method all
of the cut-off frequencies of lower order modes can be found.
