Modified equivalent boundary surface principles using hybrid FEM-FDTD electromagnetic models
A modified boundary surface between the two domains in the hybrid FEM-FDTD technique is presented. This permits a heterogeneous surface to be imposed, allowing selected parts to be represented as being conducting or nonconducting. This enables a reduced surface size to be used in cases where an ante...

| Summary: | A modified boundary surface between the two domains in the hybrid FEM-FDTD technique is presented. This permits a heterogeneous surface to be imposed, allowing selected parts to be represented as being conducting or nonconducting. This enables a reduced surface size to be used in cases where an antenna is above a conducting plane, as well as facilitating a range of other practical scenarios. Examples presented show stable results and good agreement with published data. |
