Abstract
A computer method has been developed which uses the time domain finite-difference (TDFD) algorithm to calculate the deposition of the electromagnetic (EM) field in three-dimensional biological models. This, the first of two papers, describes the algorithm and the computer programs developed. The method is demonstrated by calculating the penetration of the EM field from a rectangular waveguide radiating into a homogeneous model, the calculation being carried out in two dimensions for simplicity.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
