Polymorphic Time Domain Computational ElectromagneticsAbstract
CEM methods such as FDTD and TLM are the de-facto standard for general purpose EM field modeling in the time domain. On the other hand, the Microsoft .NET Framework and the associated C# programming language have become the de-facto standard for software development on Windows. This paper presents the technique for building a time domain CEM object library in C#. This approach could be the basis for creating an open-source standard CEM library.
