Teaching and Learning Electromagnetic Simulation by Means of a Two-Dimensional Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method

ABSTRACT

A proposal for teaching and learning electromagnetic simulation by means of a two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method is presented. The suggestion has been well received by the academic community since the teaching material is easy to implement and simple to explain in a classroom environment. Two specific codes to simulate microstrip printed dipoles are presented in here but many more can be implemented by following the book references. In addition, the running times are fast enough as to include several examples in each class session.
