Abstract

In this paper, the equivalent radius of a thin wire represented using the FDTD method in the two-dimensional (2D) cylindrical coordinate system is identified as 0.135Δr, where Δr is the lateral side length of the rectangular cells, while that of a thin wire represented in the 3D Cartesian coordinate system is known to be 0.230Δr. Furthermore, it is shown that the technique proposed by Noda and Yokoyama to represent a thin wire having an arbitrary radius in the 3D Cartesian coordinate system can be applied successfully to representing such a thin wire in the 2D cylindrical coordinate system if 0.135Δr is used for the equivalent radius instead of 0.230Δr.
