Abstract

FDTD is a successful technique for numerically simulating electromagnetic wave propagation. Our group at Northeastern does research to improve the performance of various aspects of the technique and has built these improvements into its own FDTD software package, "NUFDTD," making the code in some ways more powerful than those available commercially. These improvements include a frequency dispersion model and handling of stratified layers. Recent work (Mr. Baum's Masters thesis) has built this code into a user-friendly software package. This package is currently available via free download and is ready for use by both the academic community and the commercial sector.
