摘要

By combining the main features of the 2-D finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method and the traditional finite-difference frequency domain (FDFD) method, a 2-D FDFD method with nonuniform grids and perfectly matched layers (PML) is presented in this paper to analyze axially symmetrical coaxial discontinuity structures. Numerical results show that the 2-D FDFD method is much more efficient than the commonly used 2-D FDTD method in solving the frequency response of the structures. High accuracy of the 2-D FDFD method is shown in a simple numerical example which can be solved by using the mode matching method.
