An improvement in speed of FDTD processing time for free space wave propagation

In this paper, a numerical simulation by a new high speed low order FDTD (HSLO-FDTD) method will be conducted to simulate one dimensional free space wave propagation of 2.4 GHz Gaussian pulse. The efficiency of the new schemes are analyze and compared with the standard FDTD method in terms of processing time, phase velocity and global error. The amplitude in volts by both method are also displayed. Results obtained using the new schemes compare well with published results and solve the problem faster than the standard FDTD method.
