Abstract :
The alternating direction implicit finite difference time domain (ADI-FDTD) method is implemented for the efficient simulation of graphene antennas. The proposed approach is applied for nano-patch antenna and the numerical results are validated with respect to the conventional FDTD method. It is found that the proposed approach is approximately 58.6 % faster than the conventional FDTD method, in terms of simulation time, at Courant Freidrichs Lewy number (CFLN) = 80.
