Abstract
Recently, a marching-on in degree finite difference method (MOD-FDM) was employed in the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) formulation to obtain unconditionally stable transient responses. The objective of this work is to implement a plane wave excitation in the MOD-FDM formulation for scattering problems for an open region. This formulation has volume electric and magnetic current densities related to the incident field in Maxwell's equations explicitly. Numerical results computed by the proposed formulation are presented and compared with the solutions of the conventional FDTD method.
