  • Abstract
    A total-field/scattered-field (TF/SF) plane-wave source is developed for the finite-difference time-domain analysis of general (possibly lossy) planar layered media. A 1-D auxiliary grid is created to generate the incident field in the presence of the layered medium. Inhomogeneous plane waves are also allowed for lossless layers and narrowband excitation.
