In this contribution an enhanced version of the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method is used to calculate the field penetration and Specific Absorption Rate (S-AR) pattern for a current sheet applicator used in Hyperthermia treatment. The FDTD method uses modified equations to rigorously model three dimensional dielectric boundaries and a nonuniform grid for computational efficiency. Res...

We investigate the lasing action in coupled multi-row nanopillar waveguides of periodic or fractal structure using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, coupled to the laser rate equations. Such devices exhibit band splitting with distinct and controllable supermode formation. We demonstrate that selective lasing into each of the supermodes is possible. The structure acts as a microl...

Wireless communication devices such as tablets are increasing and developing rapidly. The effects of the electromagnetic (EM) waves in the human body from the wireless communication devices have been paid attention. It is well known that the absorption of electromagnetic waves on the human head for a certain period of time may lead to health problems such as headaches, or even worse, significan...

In this paper, a semi-analytical model for the dispersion relation of nanowire lasers is presented. The approach which is based on the multi-conductor transmission line modeling, makes use of the Fourier expansion technique. The cross-section of the nanowire is assumed to be hexagonally-shaped. To determine the accuracy, the model results are compared to the numerical results obtained from FDTD...

Effects of material and configuration of the internal wall on the performance of wideband channel are investigated by using the Finite Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method. The indoor wideband channel characteristics, such as the path-loss, Root-Mean-Square (RMS) delay spread and number of the multipath components (MPCs), are presented. The simulated results demonstrate that the path-loss and M...

Patch antennas have emerged rapidly with advancement of communication technology. For antenna design purposes, Finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is a commonly used. This paper focuses on the interaction among elements of MIMO antenna also known as mutual coupling using FDTD method. An M shape is introduced and with placement of isolating structure, round about 12dB of isolation is inc...

A wide range of wireless system developments require knowledge of the distribution of electromagnetic fields from various sources in humans. As experimental assessment is ethically unacceptable, high resolution numerical dosimetry is needed. The FiniteDifference Time-Domain method is the most appropriate due to its simplicity and versatility. Reduction in demands on computational resources can ...
