Abstract
A fast finite difference delay modeling (FDDM)-based scheme is presented for analyzing transient electromagnetic scattering from lossy inhomogeneous dielectric objects. The proposed scheme is formulated in the region of the scatterers by expressing the total field as the sum of the incident field and the radiated field due to both the polarization and conduction current density. The current density is discretized in space by Schaubert-Wilton-Glisson basis functions and in time by finite differences. Furthermore, the scheme is accelerated by the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm, which can reduce the memory requirement and computational complexity significantly. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.
