Abstract
The Finite-Difference Time-Domain algorithm is a powerful method for analyzing the electromagnetic wave behavior in a complicated microwave structure. This method, however, is a memory intensive and time consuming operation due to spatial and temporal discretization. Here the FDTD is augmented with Diakoptics and System Identification algorithms in order to reduce the computational cost. Furthermore, the FDTD algorithm is extended to include the analysis of nonlinear and active regions. Theoretical development and numerical examples are presented.
