Abstract

The application of current implementations of electromagnetic simulators to realistic wireless communication problems requires excessively large computational time. As a result, computational electromagnetic tools have not been incorporated into the electromagnetics curricula yet. Building on a recent breakthrough in FDTD technology, we developed a novel simulation environment that enables the educational study of wave propagation in wireless links
