Time Domain Electromagnetic Scattering Using Finite Elements and Perfectly Matched Layers

چکیده
We consider a model for the interrogation of a planar Debye medium by a non-harmonic microwave pulse from an antenna source in free space, and we compute the reflected solution using finite elements in the spatial variables and finite differences in the time variable. Perfectly Matched Layers (PMLs) and an absorbing boundary condition are used to damp waves interacting with artificial boundaries imposed to allow finite computational domains. We present simulation results showing that numerical reflections from interfaces at PML boundaries can be controlled.

A Study of Electromagnetic Radiation from Monopole Antennas on Spherical-Lossy Earth Using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method
Radiation from monopole antennas on spherical-lossy earth is analyzed by the finitedifference time-domain (FDTD) method in spherical coordinates. A novel generalized perfectly matched layer (PML) has been developed for the truncation of the lossy soil. For having an accurate modeling with less memory requirements, an efficient "non-uniform" mesh generation scheme is used. Also in each time step...

An effective algorithm to construct perfectly matched layers (PMLs) for truncating time-domain finite-element meshes used in the simulation of three-dimensional (3-D) open-region electromagnetic scattering and radiation problems is presented. Both totaland scattered-field formulations are described. The proposed algorithm is based on the time-domain finite-element solution of the vector wave eq...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Cartesian Pml Approximation to the Three Dimensional Electromagnetic Wave Scattering Problem
We consider the application of a perfectly matched layer (PML) technique applied in Cartesian geometry to approximate solutions of the electromagnetic wave (Maxwell) scattering problem in the frequency domain. The PML is viewed as a complex coordinate shift (“stretching”) and leads to a variable complex coefficient equation for the electric field posed on an infinite domain, the complement of a...
متن کاملThe Adaptive Perfectly Matched Layer Method for Time-harmonic Acoustic and Electromagnetic Scattering Problems
Abstract. The recently introduced perfectly matched layer (PML) method is an efficient method to reduce the exterior wave propagation problem which is defined in the unbounded domain to the problem in the bounded domain. Under the assumption that the exterior solution is composed of outgoing waves only, the basic idea of the PML technique is to surround the computational domain by a layer of fi...

─ This paper presents an investigation into the electromagnetic scattering characteristic of two-dimensional (2-D) layered rough surfaces by using a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm, which constitutes a three-dimensional scattering problem. The uniaxial perfectly matched layer medium is adopted for truncation of FDTD lattices, in which the finite-difference equations can be used f...
