Three-Dimensional FDTD Simulation of Electromagnetic Wave Transformation in a Dynamic Inhomogeneous Magnetized Plasma
نویسندگان
چکیده
A three-dimensional (3-D) finite-difference timedomain (FDTD) algorithm is developed to study the transformation of an electromagnetic wave by a dynamic (time-varying) inhomogeneous magnetized plasma medium. The current density vector is positioned at the center of the Yee cube to accommodate the anisotropy of the plasma medium due to the presence of a static magnetic field. An appropriate time-stepping algorithm is used to obtain accurate solutions for arbitrary values of the collision frequency and the electron cyclotron frequency. The technique is illustrated by calculating the frequency shifts in a cavity due to a switched magnetoplasma medium with a timevarying and space-varying electron density profile.

Recent Advances in FDTD Modeling of Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in the Ionosphere
─ Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) modeling of electromagnetic wave propagation in the Earth-ionosphere waveguide has gained significant interest over the past two decades. Initially, FDTD modeling capabilities were largely limited to two-dimensional models assuming a plasma ionosphere (but incapable of accounting for Faraday rotation), or to threedimensional global models assuming a simple...
