摘要
This paper presents for the first time the transient simulation of the 3-D TE34,19 mode converter with surface deformation. The simulation results were obtained by solving the Maxwell equations directly on a 3-D domain with a discontinuous Galerkin method. The presented full-wave simulation was possible only through the use of an advanced highly scalable numerical method operating on a large-scale high-performance computing system. Moreover, the properties of the Maxwell solver with respect to accuracy and computation time are discussed for the application to a smooth-wall TE34,19 waveguide where an analytical solution is available.
