By incorporating higher order formulation with perfectly matched layer (PML) implementation, unconditionally stable computationally efficient locally one-dimensional (LOD) algorithm with improved absorption is proposed for simulating ground penetrating radar and its open region problems in finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm. To take advantages of these methods, the proposed implementation shows characteristics of maintaining considerable accuracy, enhancing computational efficiency and improving the entire absorption. These above-mentioned advantages are illustrated through the ground penetrating radar related problem in open regions. It can be concluded from the calculation results that the proposal shows advantages of higher order formulation, PML implementation and LOD procedure which are efficient in remarkable accuracy, considerable efficiency and improved absorption with increment of CFLNs. Meanwhile, the simulation results also indicate that the proposal is an unconditionally stable procedure with the dissatisfaction of Courant-Friedrichs-Levy stability condition.
