Abstract:
This thesis presents a finite element time domain method for analyzing inhomogeneous anisotropic and multi-layered media that can be represented by a permittivity tensor and conductivity tensor. Moreover, the media are exposed to an oblique incident gaussian pulse. The formulation of problem is in the second-order partial differential equations which have only two components of unknown fields in the term of transverse electrical fields with vary time and distance. The boundary condition of the problem is the form of absorbing boundary condition. To determine the solutions of unknown fields by using finite element time domain method, two separate experiments are performed. First, in spatial domain have been used Galerkin form and including second-order shape function with each element is expressed three unknowns. Next, in the time domain solving using Newmark-Beta schemes. Unconditional stability is achieved by using a modified Newmark-Beta. Finally, solving this linear system equations at each time step and the result of the calculation has the transverse electric fields in time domain. In frequency domain computed form the fourier transform of the time domain. The results of calculation show that for electric incident field propagation to isotropic and anisotropic media at each time step. The characteristic of such a propagation in media are multiple reflection and attenuation, while in free space the electri field is absorb or no reflect when it's in bounded. Furthermore to show the transient response of reflected fields and transmitted fields and the reflection coefficient vary with frequency and incident wave in anisotropic media. By this approach, the computation was found to be accurate and agree with research in the past.
