Abstract: FDTD is a numerical method to seek the solution of Maxwell equations by marching in tihme domain, which can be used to analyze the interactions between electromagnetic fields and complicated objects. The fundamentals of FDTD are discussed in this paper, and some useful skills introduced. In particular, complex field components are used in time-harmonic case in order to obtain smooth output for phase. Finally, some examples are provided.
