Abstract
A robust technique for modelling linear and nonlinear lumped elements spanning multiple cells in an FDTD-based electromagnetic field simulator is presented. The nonlinear models require iteration as part of the model. The technique is applied to produce a highly stable LE-FDTD diode model that works well far beyond normal operational voltage ranges. Simulation results are in good agreement with those obtained with the circuit simulator APLAC and those in the literature [1].
