The Finite Difference Time Domain Method for Electromagnetics

The Finite Difference Time Domain Method for Electromagnetics explores the mathematical foundations of FDTD from its fundamentals to its practical applications, including stability, outer radiation boundary conditions, and different coordinate systems. It covers derivations of FDTD for use with PEC, metals, lossy dielectrics, gyrotropic materials, and anisotropic materials. A number of application examples are completely worked out and accompanied by numerous figures that illustrate the results. The book also includes a printed FORTRAN 77 version of the code that implements the technique in three dimensions for lossy dielectric materials.
