Abstract
This paper proposes a procedure to calculate the local propagation speed of a spherical wave UWB signal for the assessment of numerical noise in a limited FDTD space. This method overcomes the theoretical deficiency of phase and group velocities which assumes the plane wave monochromatic signal propagation. The proposed method can estimate the local signal velocity to any propagation directions in one numerical simulation
