Abstract

Some strategies used in the computer simulation of wave phenomena by means of finite differences in time-domain (FDTD) method are reviewed and discussed here. It is shown that the wave equation in its discretized form possesses different properties in comparison with the true differential formulation. In this part the issues of stability and numerical dispersion are thoroughly investigated for the one-dimensional case represented here by waves on transmission lines and transversal electromagnetic plane wave
