Abstract

For an efficient finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) analysis of coaxial-probe feeding structures in radio frequency(RF) and microwave bands, an interrelation between equivalent source modeling techniques is investigated. In existing literature, equivalent source models with delta-gap or magnetic-frill concepts have been developed by many researchers. It is well known that FDTD implementation and computational accuracy of these source models are slightly different. In this paper, the interrelation between FDTD equivalent source models for coaxial feeding structures under the quasi-static approximation(QSA) is presented. As a function of FDTD equivalent source models, time-domain and frequency-domain responses of a coaxial-probe fed conical monopole antenna are calculated numerically. And comparison results of computational accuracy and efficiency are provided.

RF 및 마이크로파 대역에서 동축 프로브 급전구조에 대한 효율적인 유한 차분 시간 영역(FDTD: Finite-Difference Time-Domain) 해석을 위한 등가 전원 모델링 기법들의 상호 관계를 연구하였다. 기존에는 델타 갭(delta-gap) 또는 자기 프릴(magnetic-frill) 개념을 FDTD에 도입한 등가 전원 모델들이 여러 연구진에 의해서 개발되었다. 이러한 등가 전원 모델들의 FDTD 구현 방법과 모의 계산의 정확성은 서로 조금 다르다는 정도로만 잘 알려져 있었다. 본 논문에서는 준정적 근사(quasi-static approximation)하에서 동축-프로브 급전 구조에 대한 FDTD 등가 전원 모델들의 상호 관계를 제시하였다. FDTD 등가 전원 모델들의 적용방법에 따라 동축 급전된 원추형 모노폴 안테나의 시간영역과 주파수영역 응답을 수치계산하였다. 또한, FDTD 모의계산의 정확성과 효율성에 대한 비교 결과를 제시하였다.
