A Higher Order ADI-FDTD Method for EM Propagation in Plasma
A second-order in time and fourth-order in space, alternating direction implicit finite difference time domain (ADI-FDTD) scheme is presented for radio-wave propagation in a isotropic collisionless plasma. At the same time, the unconditional stability of the higher order ADI-FDTD formulation for plasma is analytically proved. By analysis of the growth factor, the numerical dispersion relation is derived. In addition, the numerical dispersion errors are investigated. From the error analysis and phase velocity data, it is argued that the proposed approach will significantly minimize the dispersion errors compared to the ADI-FDTD method.
