A new and stable subgridding scheme based on mesh nesting is presented. This scheme is numerically stable, accurate, and easy to implement. The accuracy of the scheme is illustrated by examples of applications in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 22: 211–214, 1999.
