## Abstract In this paper, an improved finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) algorithm is proposed in order to eliminate the restraint by the Courant–Friedrich–Levy condition. The new algorithm is developed based on an alternating‐direction implicit (ADI) approach. In this method, the conventional t

Abstract
In this paper, a number of photonic band‐gap (PBG) structures, which are formed by periodic circuit elements printed on transmission‐line circuits, are studied by using a well‐known numerical method, the finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) method. The results validate the band‐stop filter behavior of these structures, and the computed results generally match well with ones published in the literature. It is also found that the FDTD method is a robust, versatile, and powerful numerical technique to perform such numerical studies. The proposed PBG filter structures may be applied in microwave and communication systems. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract This paper presents the analysis of an adaptive antenna that is formed of a dipole antenna above a ground plane in the presence of electromagnetic band gap (EBG) metallic structures. Electromagnetic simulations are performed using the method of moments (MoM) and the obtained results sho
We describe the calculation of photonic band structures of two-dimensional lattices made of more than one dielectric array. In particular, we study a face-centered graphite (fcg) structure obtained by an arrangement of two sets of cylindrical rods, one located at the vertices of regular hexagons (gr
