A Matlab GUI for Simulating the Propagation of the Electromagnetic Field in A 2-D Infinite Space

Abstract

This paper presents a Matlab-based graphical user interface (GUI) that allows the simulation of the propagation of an electromagnetic wave in a 2-D infinite space. The homogeneous, isotropic medium is modeled by using the Finite– Difference Time-Domain technique and its infinity is modeled with the Perfectly Matched Layer. The GUI provides different ways of displaying the graphical results: 3-D animation (or snapshots from the animation) of the wave propagation, field variations in time recorded by probes placed in the medium, the average power spectrum and also calculates the reflection coefficients. The capability of the proposed GUI is demonstrated with a numerical example: the simulation of the wave propagation in a field with cylindrical symmetry.
