摘要
We present an analytical study of the alternating-direction implicit finite-difference time-domain (ADI-FDTD) method for solving the time-varying Maxwell's equations and compare its accuracy with that of the Crank-Nicolson (CN) and Yee FDTD schemes. The closed form of the truncation error is obtained for two and three dimensions. The dependence of the truncation error on the square of the time step multiplied by the spatial derivatives of the fields is found to be a unique feature of the ADI-FDTD scheme. We illustrate the limitation on accuracy imposed by these truncation error terms by simulating a simple parallel-plate structure excited by a low-frequency voltage source. Excellent agreement is obtained between field data computed with the implicit CN scheme using time steps greatly exceeding the Courant limit and field data computed with the explicit Yee scheme. Such results are not obtained with ADI-FDTD.
