• FDTD-Compatible Green's function based on scalar discrete Green's function and multidimensional Z-transform

  Publication

  • T. Stefański

  - Year 2015

  In this contribution, a new formulation of the discrete Green's function (DGF) is presented for the finitedifference time-domain (FDTD) grid. Recently, dyadic DGF has been derived from the impulse response of the discretized scalar wave equation (i.e., scalar DGF) with the use of the multidimensional Z-transform. Its software implementation is straightforward because only elementary functions are involved and a single function...
