Anisotropic-medium PML for vector FETD with modified basis functions

A novel anisotropic-medium perfectly matched layer (PML) implementation is presented for boundary truncation in the three-dimensional vector finite-element time-domain (FETD) method. This approach utilizes a complex set of vector test and basis functions in the PML region, that recover the usual basis functions in the non-PML region. Numerical examples show that the proposed PML-FETD approach has small reflection errors and no observed late-time instabilities for simulations involving up to 10/sup 6/ time steps.
