Parallel FDTD Simulation of Two-Dimensional Frequency Selective Surface

Grid computing is an active field in high-availability computing. This paper focuses on the numerical calculation of two-dimensional frequency selective surface using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method on grid-enabled cluster. The result of experiment shows that the evaluation via the parallel FDTD is in good agreement with the result obtained via the traditional FDTD method. The parallel FDTD algorithm is correct and reasonable, which can be extended to other periodic structure and finite exciting sources.
