Features: This book introduces the fundamental principles and applications of the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method. The book consists of 11 chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction. Chapters 2 to 7 discuss the basic principles of FDTD, introducing the Yee cell and the FDTD basic equations, numerical stability, absorbing boundary conditions (including Mur and PML), common incident wave forms and their introduction methods, near-field-to-far-field extrapolation methods (including extrapolation formulas and FDTD implementations for both time-harmonic and transient fields), as well as grid discretization techniques. Chapters 8 to 10 discuss various applications of FDTD, including reflection and transmission in layered media, as well as scattering and radiation calculations. Chapter 11 introduces several advancements in FDTD, including non-uniform grid FDTD, the application of transfer functions in FDTD, and FDTD for periodic media, dispersive media, anisotropic media, and media containing lumped elements. Additionally, ADI-FDTD, an improved version with unconditional stability, is introduced. The second edition also includes review questions and comprehensive programming exercises. The book concludes with near-field color images and FDTD computational programs. This book is recommended by the Ministry of Education as a graduate teaching text and can also serve as a reference for researchers in related fields, university instructors, and advanced undergraduate students.
