Abstract :
A modification to the near-field to far-field transformation scheme by Luebbers et al. for the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is introduced. For a worst case scenario, results indicate an improvement in the accuracy of the calculated far-field responses and radar cross-section (RCS) in comparison to the original algorithm
