Numerical Solution of Initial Boundary Value Problems Involving Maxwell's Equations in Isotropic Media

Abstract

Maxwell's equations are replaced by a set of finite difference equations. It is shown that if one chooses the field points appropriately, the set of finite difference equations is applicable for a boundary condition involving perfectly conducting surfaces. An example is given of the scattering of an electromagnetic pulse by a perfectly conducting cylinder. Copyright © 1966, by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
