Summary
Maxwell's equations describe how electric and magnetic fields interact. This document shows how to use MATLAB to model wave propagation and absorption using the FDTD method and PML. Students learn how to implement these techniques in MATLAB.
Finite-Difference Time-Domain
The FDTD method solves Maxwell's equations using central-difference approximations. It models wave propagation by iteratively updating electric and magnetic fields. The method covers a wide frequency range with a single simulation run.
Implementing FDTD in MATLAB
The document explains how to create arrays for electric and magnetic fields in MATLAB. It discusses spatial and temporal resolution and the Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy condition. The document gives MATLAB code for updating these fields over successive time steps.
Grid Truncation with PML
Grid truncation techniques like PML absorb waves to prevent reflections. The document describes the PML concept and its implementation in MATLAB. It explains how PML reduces reflections in wave propagation simulations.
