% This MATLAB M-file implements the finite-difference time-domain
% solution of Maxwell's curl equations over a one-dimensional space
% lattice comprised of uniform grid cells.
%
% To illustrate the algorithm, a sinusoidal wave (1GHz) propagating
% in a nonpermeable lossy medium (epsr=1.0, sigma=5.0e-3 S/m) is
% modeled. The simplified finite difference system for nonpermeable
% media (discussed in Section 3.6.6 of the text) is implemented.
%
% The grid resolution (dx = 1.5 cm) is chosen to provide 20
% samples per wavelength. The Courant factor S=c*dt/dx is set to
% the stability limit: S=1. In 1-D, this is the "magic time step."
%
% The computational domain is truncated using the simplest radiation
% boundary condition for wave propagation in free space:
%
% Ez(imax,n+1) = Ez(imax-1,n)
%
% To execute this M-file, type "fdtd1D" at the MATLAB prompt.
% This M-file displays the FDTD-computed Ez and Hy fields at every
% time step, and records those frames in a movie matrix, M, which is
% played at the end of the simulation using the "movie" command.
