Work in progress: Teaching EM diffraction via virtual tools: “The WedgeTOOL”

Abstract

A useful wedge diffraction package has been introduced for the illustration and visualization of time- and frequency-domain numerical methods (Finite Difference Time Domain, FDTD, and Method of Moments, MoM) results, as well as analytical High Frequency Asymptotics (HFA) approaches. A MatLab package (WedgeTOOL) is developed for diffraction modeling on the classical non-penetrable wedge problem.
