Abstract :
As you might know, the year 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility. As part of the 50th anniversary of the EMC Transactions, the 50 most referenced papers of the Transactions were identified using IEEE Xplore and are presented in Table 1. The top referenced paper of the Transactions is the classical paper by G. Mur (Absorbing Boundary Conditions for the Finite-Difference Approximation of the Time-Domain Electromagnetic-Field, Vol. 23, No. 4, 1981). The paper deals with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique and the author presents highly absorbing boundary conditions that can be used for both two-and three-dimensional configurations.
