FDTD can successfully simulate various kinds of phenomena of electromagnetic waves. Mainly, we use orthogonal Cartesian coordinate in general situations when we deal with the electromagnetic problems, but the curved geometry of the problem makes it difficult to obtain accurate results using conventional FDTD algorithm because of staircasing. To analyze curved geometry using Conformal FDTD can improve this shortcoming. The Conformal FDTD uses the regular FDTD equation for updating the magnetic field by using the electric field values along the distorted
contours, that are appropriately weighted with lengths of the contours. The Conformal FDTD technique is well suited for handling such curved geometries.
The moment method is used to convert the integral equation into a matrix equation.The major drawback of moment method (MoM) is the full matrix generation and huge computation time. The CFDTD directly approximates the differential operators in the Maxwell curl equation, and avoids using more mathematic formulae. This thesis uses Conformal FDTD to simulate RCS value of the cylinder and sphere and compare Conformal FDTD with Moment Method. We know that Conformal FDTD will save memory requirement and CPU time even more than Moment Method in layered structure.
