To this end, two comprehensive problems are considered, namely a dielectric step in a rectangular waveguide and a dielectric-loaded metallic cavity. We found that, in both problems, the electric field patterns exhibit an unexpected phase shift at the dielectric interface. By contrast, the alternating-direction implicit FDTD method does not present this unphysical behavior.}, organization = {This work was supported in part by the Spanish Government (MINECO) and the European Commission (ERDF) under Research Projects TEC2014-55463-C3-2-P and TEC2014-55463-C3-3-P.}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.}, publisher = {IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters, 2018, 28(6), 461-463}, title = {On the behavior of the LOD-FDTD method at dielectric interfaces}, author = {Pereda Fernández, José Antonio and Grande Sáez, Ana María}, }
