In this communication, we present an improvement technique for the finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) method, in which an accurate solution can be achieved using a very coarse mesh if a weighted factor of the simulated PEC object dimension is properly selected. A uniform microwave stripline is used to validate the proposed scheme. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
