Abstract

A very-wideband dispersive absorbing boundary condition is presented for time-domain analysis of guided waves. It is obtained by concatenating three first-order boundary operators. A minimum return loss of -30 dB is obtained over a frequency range from DC to 200 GHz for an open microstrip line on alumina substrate of 0.635 mm thickness. The additional constant terms introduced in the boundary operators (to absorb low-frequency signals) are very important in stabilizing the higher-order boundary conditions.<>
