The Finite Difference Time Domain Method for Electromagnetics

The Finite Difference Time Domain Method for Electromagnetics explores the mathematical foundations of the finite difference time domain method (FDTD) including stability, outer radiation boundary conditions, and different co-ordinate systems. The book also covers derivations of FDTD for use with PEC, gyrotopic materials, metal, lossy dielectric without and with frequency dependent constitutive parameters, and anisotropic materials. A number of applications are completely worked out with numerous figures used to illustrate the results. A printed FORTRAN 77 version of the code that implements the technique in three dimensions for lossy electric materials is included as well.
