A course on the application of the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique for the full-wave simulation of time-dependent electromagnetic waves in complex media. Representative topics in the course include: The Yee-algorithm, numerical dispersion and stability, physical source models, absorbing boundaries and perfectly matched layered media, near-field to far-field transformations, modeling of microwave circuits and antennas, parameter extraction, lumped load models, non- uniform and non-orthogonal grid methods, and current topics in FDTD.
