The maximum time‐step size of the alternating‐direction implicit finite‐difference time‐domain (ADI‐FDTD) method is not limited by the Courant–Friedrich–Levy (CFL) stability condition. However, the numerical‐dispersion error of the ADI‐FDTD method is much greater than that of Yee's FDTD method. In this paper, the numerical dispersion is improved by approximating the spatial derivatives using cubic spline Battle–Lemarie scaling functions and the high‐order centered differences. The stability condition and the numerical‐dispersion relations are derived using the Fourier series method and validated by a numerical simulation. The new scheme is unconditionally stable and the numerical dispersion error can be reduced to the limit of the conventional ADI‐FDTD method with the 6 th ‐order centered difference. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
