Time domain finite element methods (TD-FEM) for computing electromagnetic fields are well studied. TD-FEM solution is typically effected using Newmark-Beta methods. One of the challenges of TD-FEM is the presence of a DC null-space that grows with time. This can be overcome by solving Maxwell equations directly. One approach; called time domain mixed finite element method (TDMFEM); discretizes Maxwell’s equations using appropriate spatial basis sets and leapfrog time stepping. Typically; the basis functions used to discretize field quantities have been low order. It is conditionally stable; and there is a strong link between time step size and mesh dependent eigenvalues; much like the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) condition. This implies that the time step sizes can be very small. To overcome this challenge; we use the Newmark-Beta approach. The principal contribution of this work is the development of; and rigorous proof of; unconditional stability for higher order TD-MFEM for different boundary conditions. Further; we analyze nullspaces of the resulting system; and demonstrate stability and convergence. All results are compared against the conditionally stable leapfrog approach. © 2020; Electromagnetics Academy. All rights reserved;
