Numerical Study of Electromagnetic Waves by using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) Technique in Two and Three Dimensions

Abstract

In this paper, the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method applied for solving the time dependent Maxwell’s curl equations in two dimensions (2D) and three dimensions (3D) systems. In the FDTD, the computational domain is terminated with the absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) that applied in two dimensional (2D-FDTD) and three dimensional (3D-FDTD). Two dimensions system is used as the transverse magnetic (TM) wave propagates in free space
