Characteristics of Mesh Wave Impedance in FDTD Non-Uniform Mesh

In order to increase the evaluating precision of mesh reflection wave, the mesh wave impedance (MWI) is extended to the non-uniform mesh in 1-D and 2-D cases for the first time on the basis of the Yee's positional relation for electromagnetic field components. Lots of characteristics are obtained for different mesh sizes and frequencies. Then the reflection coefficient caused by the non-uniform mesh can be calculated according to the theory of equivalent transmission line. By comparing it with that calculated by MWI in the uniform mesh, it is found that the evaluating error can be largely reduced and is in good agreement with that directly computed by FDTD method. And this extension of MWI can be used in the error analysis of complex mesh.
