一种计算分层半空间上方导线瞬态响应的新方法

A novel hybrid method combining time domain integral equation(TDIE) with finite difference time domain(FDTD) is proposed to calculate transient response of thin wire structure above a layered lossy half-space. The time domain reflections of electromagnetic waves from layered half-space are obtained by one-dimensional FDTD method. Then, transient response of thin-wire induced by two excitation sources (incident wave and reflected wave) is achieved by employing the TDIE. The computed results illustrate the feasibility and high efficiency of the presented scheme.
