Convolutional Implementation and Analysis of the CFS-PML ABC for the FDTD Method Based on Wave Equation

Abstract

In this letter, the convolutional implementation of the complex frequency shifted perfectly matched layer (CFS-PML) absorbing boundary condition (ABC) is proposed for the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method of solving wave equation. The FDTD solution time-marching formulations of the developed wave-equation convolutional CFS-PML (CPML) ABC are derived. Several numerical experiments are used to verify the capacity of the proposed algorithm. Solution results confirm that the proposed CPML ABC can obtain excellent absorption for both traveling waves and evanescent waves.
