Effective permittivity at the interface of dispersive dielectrics in FDTD

摘要

A simple treatment of E-field component tangential to dispersive media interfaces in FDTD is introduced. The method uses concepts from the auxiliary differential equations method to average the constitutive parameters. The cases of a wave propagating in a coaxial line and of an open-ended coaxial line radiating into the dispersive media are investigated. Results show that the simulations could be significantly erroneous if the interface is not handled properly.
