Abstract :
The accurate analysis of dual-mode resonator filters and carbon nanotube interconnects both in the millimeter and THz regime, is presented in this paper via a high-order nonstandard LOD-FDTD method. The novel 3-D schemes use a self-adjusting process to identify regions of rapid/smooth field variation and seriously subdue grid reflection errors. Therefore, complex setups can be successfully designed with affordable resources, as certified through several realistic applications.
