Abstract: Mechanism of high-frequency noise in particle-in-cell(PIC) simulation is analysed.An effective finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) method called High_Q FDTD method is developed in which high-frequency noise is filtrated and high quality factor device is calculated with PIC simulation.Formulation of the method is derived on the basis of time-biased and centered-difference FDTD method.Stability and convergence of this method are well analysed.Filter efficiency and calculation precion of this method are compared with those of the time-biased and centered-difference FDTD method in computation of a relativistic backward wave oscillator(RBWO).

Key words: PIC simulation, FDTD method, high-frequency noise, relativistic particles
