Abstract

In this paper, the slanted metallic boundaries is analyzed for the triangular cell grid method and compared with staircase approximation. Specially, this paper is derived an error range to the angle of inclination between the metal and the dielectric from the triangular cell grid method. That result, when the angle of inclination is from 30˚ to 60˚, the triangular cell grid method improves the accuracy, the computer memory and time requirement in comparison with the staircase approximation. But, out of this range, we do not expect the accuracy because a side of cell size lengthen.

본 논문에서는 기울어진 금속 경계면을 삼각형 격자법으로 해석하고, 계단 근사법과 비교하였다. 특시, 삼각형 격자법에서 금속-유전체간의 경사각도에 대한 오차 범위를 밝혔다. 그결과, 삼각형 격자법에서 경사각이 30。이상 60。이하인 경우, 계단 근사법에 비하여 정확도가 향상되고, 계산속도 및 메로미를 줄일 수 있었다. 그러나 이 범위를 벗어나는 경우, 격자의 한 변의 길이가 상대적으로 늘어나 정확한 해석이 되지 않았다.
