Abstract

A three-dimensional multidomain pseudospectral time-domain algorithm has been developed to model electromagnetic scattering by inhomogeneous objects as well as perfect conductors. The numerical results have been validated by analytical solutions and the FDTD method. Compared to the FDTD method, this multidomain PSTD algorithm has shown a marked improvement in terms of sampling density, execution time and memory requirement. The algorithm has been applied to calculate the radar cross section.
