Abstract :
Wave ports including rectangular and circular waveguides, coax, microstrip and strip lines were designed in the framework of commercial software XFdtd®. Some simulation results for microwave circuits and antennas are shown for validating the wave ports design. The use of wave ports allows us to enhance the capability of FDTD, save memories and fasten simulations.
