Abstract: The parallel FDTD technique based on the graphics processing unit (GPU) is used
to predict the low-frequency (LF) ground-wave propagation over irregular terrains in this paper.
First of all, through comparing the prediction results of the smooth earth computed by the serial
FDTD algorithm, the technique is verified. Then, with the specific examples, the speedup
performance of the parallel algorithm is analyzed. The simulation results show that: the
technique can improve the calculation speed greatly for long-distance ground-wave propagation
problems. It provides an effective solution for the FDTD application in the wave propagation
prediction of large-scale. © 2012 IEEE.
