Abstract

A novel, multipurpose, FDTD-based two-dimensional electromagnetic virtual tool has been designed and introduced. A variety of electromagnetic problems, including radio wave indoor/outdoor, urban/rural propagation, electromagnetic compatibility, resonators, closed/open periodic structures, and linear and planar arrays of radiators can be simulated. This paper describes the software and its use in electromagnetics courses
