With the rapid growth of indoor wireless communication systems, the need to accurately model radio wave propagation inside the building environments has increased. Many site-specific methods have been proposed for modeling indoor radio channels. Among these methods, the ray tracing algorithm and the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method are the most popular ones. The ray tracing approach ...

The objective of this work is to analyze wave packet propagation in weakly nonlinear acoustic metamaterials and reveal the interior nonlinear wave mechanism through spectro-spatial analysis. The spectro-spatial analysis is based on full-scale transient analysis of the finite system, by which dispersion curves are generated from the transmitted waves and also verified by the perturbation method ...

In this paper, the characteristic equations of the E mn and Ex mn modes of the dielectric rectangular waveguide have been derived using the mode matching technique. No assumptions have been taken in the derivations which have been straight forwardly done. Two ratios have been introduced in the characteristic equations and the new set of characteristic equations thus obtained are then plotted an...

This paper describes a full wave approach for analyzing planar interconnect structures, such as power distribution systems in printed circuit boards and multichip modules, using a tightly coupled combination of FDTD and SPICE. The technique enhances the present hybrid full wave circuit methods in terms of robustness and efficiency. The method is applied to a few sample problems to illustrate it...
