An algorithm extension to three dimensions is developed and presented for the highly phase-coherent modified second-order in time, fourth-order in space (or M24) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm. A finite-volumes approach in conjunction with Yee's standard FDTD lattice is used for algorithm development. The corresponding dispersion relation is also developed, analyzed and compared to both the standard second-order and fourth-order FDTD algorithms as well as to two closely related high-order phase-coherent algorithms. Wideband algorithm attributes are also presented as well as sets of ready to use optimized algorithm coefficients.
