Abstract: A spatial modes filtering (SMF) finite-element time-domain (FETD) method with periodic boundary condition (PBC) is proposed for efficiently analyzing the electromagnetic characteristics of 3-D periodic structures with partial fine structures. The system matrices of FETD become asymmetrical because of the introduction of PBC, which prevents the system eigenvalue analysis. By decomposing the system matrix into PBC-independent and PBC-related parts, the unstable spatial modes under the given large time step can be found and removed from the symmetrical PBC-independent system matrices. Then the system matrix equation and time marching of the SMF-FETD and SMF-FETD method based on local eigenvalue solution (LES-SMF-FETD) with PBC are obtained. Numerical results illustrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the SMF-FETD method with PBC based on non-uniform mesh for analyzing the transport properties of 3-D periodic structures.
