Abstract

The results of the computer simulation of videopulse scattering on the conductive cylinder objects buried in homogeneous media are presented in this work. The finite difference time domain method (FDTD) and Mur's absorbing boundary conditions of second order were used to regularize the problem. The analysis and the comparison of the scattered electromagnetic fields obtained at different dielectric parameters of the media and different sizes of the conductive objects were carried out.
