Characteristic-Based Finite-Volume Time-Domain Method for Scattering by Coated Objects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The characteristic-based finite-volume time-domain method is applied to analyze the scattering from conducting objects coated with lossy dielectric materials. Based on the characteristic-based finite-volume scheme, two numerical strategies are developed to model the electromagnetic propagation across different dielectric media. One introduces a connecting boundary to separate the total-field region from the scattered-field region. The other employs the scattered field formulation throughout the computational domain. These two strategies are verified by numerical experiments to be basically equivalent. A numerical procedure compatible with the finite-volume scheme is developed to guarantee the continuity of the tangential electric and magnetic fields at the dielectric interface. Rigorous boundary conditions for all the field components are formulated on the surface of the perfect electric conducting ( ) PEC objects. The numerical accuracy of the proposed technique has been validated by comparison with theoretical results.

A Time-Domain Method for Shape Reconstruction of a Target with Known Electrical Properties (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper uses a method for shape reconstruction of a 2-D homogeneous object with arbitrary geometry and known electrical properties. In this method, the object is illuminated by a Gaussian pulse, modulated with sinusoidal carrier plane wave and the time domains’ footprint signal due to object presence is used for the shape reconstruction. A nonlinear feedback loop is used to minimize the diff...

So the new algorithm is called the displacement-based finite difference time domain (DBFDTD). Three numerical examples are computed with this met...
