Global modeling of nonlinear circuits using the finite-difference Laguerre time-domain/alternative direction implicit finite-difference time-domain method with stability investigation

This paper describes a new unconditionally stable numerical method for the full-wave physical modeling of semiconductor devices by a combination of the finite-difference Laguerre time-domain (FDLTD) and alternative direction implicit finite-difference time-domain (ADI-FDTD) approaches. The unconditionally stable method by using FDLTD scheme for the electromagnetic model and semi-implicit ADI-FD...

FDTD Analysis of Top-Hat Monopole Antennas Loaded with Radially Layered Dielectric

Top-hat monopole antennas loaded with radially layered dielectric are analyzed using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Unlike the mode-matching method (MMM) (which was previously used for analyzing these antennas) the FDTD method enables us to study such structures accurately and easily. Using this method, results can be obtained in a wide frequency band by performing only one ti...

An Unconditionally Stable Scheme for the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method

In this work, we propose a numerical method to obtain an unconditionally stable solution for the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for the TE case. This new method does not utilize the customary explicit leapfrog time scheme of the conventional FDTD method. Instead we solve the time-domain Maxwell’s equations by expressing the transient behaviors in terms of weighted Laguerre polynomi...

Controlling Nonlinear Processes, using Laguerre Functions Based Adaptive Model Predictive Control (AMPC) Algorithm

Laguerre function has many advantages such as good approximation capability for different systems, low computational complexity and the facility of on-line parameter identification. Therefore, it is widely adopted for complex industrial process control. In this work, Laguerre function based adaptive model predictive control algorithm (AMPC) was implemented to control continuous stirred tank rea...
