Abstract
The shift operator finite difference time domain (SO-FDTD) method is developed to deal with a hybrid dispersive media model. First, we prove that the complex permittivity of the hybrid dispersive media model can be described by a rational polynomial fraction with respect to jω. Then, the relation between electric displacement D and electric field strength E is derived in the time domain by introducing zt as a shift operator. The constitutive relation in the discretized time domain and the recursive formulation of D and E available for FDTD computation are obtained. Finally, the reflection of the hybrid dispersive slab is computed. The computed results are in good agreement with that obtained by analytic method. This illustrates the generalization and the feasibility of the presented scheme.
