Reduced finite-difference time-domain method with subgridding and its application

A novel approach of reduced finite-difference time-domain method (R-FDTD) combined with subgridding technique is proposed and applied to the analysis of microstrip-fed slot antennas. Firstly, the impedance and radiation characteristic of a microstrip-fed rectangular-slot antenna are analyzed and the obtained numerical results accord with those in literatures. Compared to normal FDTD method, memory requirement and CPU time are reduced obviously by the presented approach. Further more, the input impedance and radiation pattern of a microstrip-fed dumbbell-slot antenna and a microstrip-fed swallow-tailed-slot antenna are calculated. Some useful conclusions, such as the expansion of bandwidth and the reduction of resonant frequency by using swallow-tailed-slot antenna and dumbbell-slot antenna, are deduced for the engineering design. Numerical results show that it is feasible and numerically efficient to solve the electromagnetic problem of complex objects incorporating small features with the proposed approach.
