Zusammenfassung:A method is proposed for solving the time-dependent Maxwell's equations via the discontinuous Galerkin finite-element time-domain (DGFETD) method with dispersive media. An auxiliary differential equation (ADE) method is used to represent the constitutive relations. The method is applied to Drude materials, as well as to multiple pole Debye and Lorentz materials. An efficient implementation for high-order Runge-Kutta time integration schemes is presented. The method is validated and is shown to exhibit high-order convergence.
