“…In [18,23,26], methods have been proposed to obtain the far-field radiation patterns from the FDTD simulation. According to these methods, firstly, a surface has to be defined which surrounds the antenna in three dimensions.…”

“…Direct time-domain approaches can offer more fundamental knowledge and deeper insight into electromagnetic phenomena in EMC/SI analysis, among which the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is an exceptionally efficient and versatile technique. It has gained prominence in analyzing objects with an extremely wide range of size and complexity such as antennas [2], biological electromagnetic effect [3] and high-speed circuits [4,5].…”

The paper presents and discusses the parallelized 3D finite-difference time-domain algorithm based on single-program multiple-data architecture using the MPI protocol for electromagnetic compatibility and signal integrity analysis and evaluation in high-speed designs. The efficiency for parallelization is verified through numerical experiments at IBM P640 and P690 multiprocessor high performance computers with up to 20 processors at different sizes of the problems.

“…Complete three-dimensional (3-D) models for the overall outer and inner horn structure (based on pure integral equation methods [9], [10], [13] or finite-difference techniques [11]) are rather flexible, but the high numerical effort usually required for accurate results is considered to limit often their practical applicability. The mode-matching (MM) techniques of [14] and [15] are more efficient; the outer surface, however, is restricted to a spherical segment [14] or to structures with symmetry of revolution [15].…”

A combined rigorous method is presented for the analysis of horn antennas with arbitrary cross section and general outer surface. The horn taper is described by the mode-matching (MM) method where the cross-section eigenvalue problem is solved by a two-dimensional (2-D) finite element (FE) technique. For the exterior horn surface including the radiating aperture, the application of the Kirchhoff-Huygens principle yields two expressions for the admittance matrix which are based on the electric (EFIE) and the magnetic (MFIE) field integral equation, respectively. The equations are solved numerically by the method of moments (MoM). For the preferred EFIE formulation, the eigenvectors of the last waveguide taper section and RWG functions for triangular patches are utilized as basis-functions for the magnetic or electric surface current densities, respectively. The presented method is verified by available reference values or measurements for a waveguide radiator with a peripheral choke, a conical and a rectangular horn. Its flexibility is demonstrated at the example of a conical ridged waveguide horn.Index Terms-Horn antennas, integral equation methods, method of moments, mode-matching methods.
