for a two‐dimensional (2D) TE wave is extended to a full three‐dimensional (3D) wave. The
weakly conditional stability is verified by numerical simulation results. Numerical
formulations of the 3D HIE‐FDTD method are presented and simulation results are
compared to those using the conventional 3D finite‐difference time‐domain method. High
computation efficiency is obtained by introducing an unequal space increment in different …
