Numerical simulation of time-domain EM scattering by shallow subsurface objects

  • Published:
Journal of Electronics (China)

Abstract

The time-domain ElectroMagnetic(EM) scattering by buried objects in dispersive media is calculated with FD-TD method. The FD-TD formula in Debye dispersive media (both the complex permeability and the complex permittivity are described by Debye equations) are deduced, and the absorbing boundary condition is given. The validity of FD-TD method in lossy media is verified through comparing the FD-TD’s results and the other ones. The propagation of transient pulses in dispersive media is studied in detail. The scattering pulses and the wiggle traces for typical buried objects are given.
