Abstract

The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm, when modified to include dispersion, is a convenient tool for analyzing wave propagation in lossy, dispersive soils. It has been shown recently that a convenient way to include the dispersion is through a spatial array of digital permittivity or conductivity filters, one filter at each space node in the finite-difference grid. We address here the problem of selecting filter coefficients that result in accurate and stable FDTD implementations. We present a systematic procedure for determining the coefficients based on a nonlinear optimization procedure and stability test.
