MPI-BASED PARALLELIZED LOCALLY CONFORMAL FDTD FOR MODELING SLOT ANTENNAS AND NEW PERIODIC STRUCTURES IN MICROSTRIP.

In this paper we present the analysis of some structures with complex curved boundary in slot antenna and microstrip transmission lines by using the Parallel Modified Locally Conformal Finite Difference Time Domain (P-MLC-FDTD) Method. The Conformal FDTD technique developed by our group earlier was extended in the current analysis. To show the accuracy of the MPI-based parallelization MLC-FDTD method, several simulated results are given in the latter part of the paper and various comparisons are made for such a demonstration.
