Description
The complexity involved in using analytical techniques in solving electromagnetic problems can be avoided by simulating Maxwell's differential equations by finite difference equations, which are easily solved by iteration. In this work some algorithms were developed in order to investigate plane waves as they travel through a certain medium and interact with objects, resulting in scattering and/or penetration. The numerical results were found to be in good agreement with analytical results for tractable cases.
