Abstract:

Based on the spatial structure of the face-centered cube (FCC), starting from Maxwell's equation, derived the 3-D iterative formulas for the absorption boundary conditions of the uniaxial anisotropic media perfectly matched layer (UPML) and near-to-far field extrapolation boundary conditions based on the FCC grid. Through typical calculation examples, the correctness of UPML absorption boundary conditions and near-to-far field extrapolation boundary conditions based on finite difference time domain method of FCC (FCC-FDTD) are successively verified. Finally, the calculation accuracy of the FCC-FDTD method and the traditional FDTD method is compared by calculating the backward radar cross section (RCS) of the metal ball. The results show that the FCC-FDTD method has higher calculation accuracy.

Key words: face-centered cube grid (FCC), finite-difference time-domain method, uniaxial perfectly matched layer (UPML), near-to-far field extrapolation, radar cross section (RCS)
