Review of PSTD methods for transient electromagnetics: Research Articles

In this paper we review the recent development in pseudospectral time-domain (PSTD) methods for broadband electromagnetics. Starting from the basic ideas for high-order approximation of spatial derivatives in periodic and non-periodic domains, we will discuss the pseudospectral time-domain methods for Maxwell's equations. Furthermore, some recent time integration schemes for the PSTD methods will be also presented. We will demonstrate these efficient methods with some new results for large scale problems.
