In this letter, we present an alternating-direction implicit (ADI)-FDTD approach for modeling transient wave propagation in Tellegen media. In the proposed formulation, the discretization of the governing equations is performed introducing weighted average parameters. The numerical features are then carefully examined and the weighted discretization parameters conveniently chosen to yield an unconditionally stable scheme. Moreover, the resulting approach presents second-order accuracy and preserves the tridiagonal structure of the data matrices. Finally, the numerical dispersion relation is given in a closed form. The new method has been validated by means of numerical experiments and has shown good agreement.}, organization = {This work was supported by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad under Projects TEC2010-21496-C03-01 and CONSOLIDER CSD2008-00066 and the subprogram Ramón y Cajal RYC-2010-06922.}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.}, publisher = {IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, 2014, 13, 1529-1532}, title = {ADI-FDTD modeling of Tellegen media}, author = {Grande Sáez, Ana María and Pereda Fernández, José Antonio}, }
