Abstract
In this paper, the performance of the resistive voltage source (RVS) model used for the FDTD analysis of microstrip circuits is evaluated. It is found that, when the actual physical impedance of a microstrip line is used for assigning a constant value of R~s~ into the corresponding electric nodes in the RVS region, the model often induces quite large reflections. Detailed numerical investigations indicate that the performance of the RVS model can be greatly enhanced when the effective impedance (which is determined by examining the maximum value of the calculated voltage between the strip line and the ground plane), instead of the physical impedance, of the microstrip line is used for the RVS model.โยฉ 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
