This version of the code is compatible only with the AT89C2051 due to the
location of the data buffer and stack in RAM. The code may be modified to
work with the AT89C1051 by relocating or resizing the buffer and stack to
fit into the smaller amount of RAM available in the AT89C1051.
This code can be used to model a microstrip line or a microstrip
patch antenna (the particular problem being modeled is determined
at compile-time via various declarations).
TOYFDTD1 is a stripped-down minimalist, 3D FDTD code demonstrating the basic tasks in implementing a simple 3D FDTD simulation. An idealized rectangular waveguide is modeled by treating the interior of the mesh as free space and enforcing PEC conditions on the faces of the mesh. A simplified plane wave source is inserted at one end. First released 12 April 1999. Version 1.03 released 2 December 1999.
This simple simulation of a pulse traveling down a parallel-plate guide makes a handy test code for initial experiments with boundary conditions. ToyFDTD3 adds some simple features to ToyFDTD1: A PMC boundary condition, a sinusoidal pulse source, and output tracking a single point in the mesh. Released 15 June 1999.
The code assumes a two-dimensional computational domain with TMz polarization (i.e., non-zero field Ez, Hx, and Hy). The program is currently written so that the incident field always strikes the lower-left corner of the total-field region first. (If you want a different corner, that should be a fairly simple tweak to the code, but for now you ll have to make that tweak yourself.) I have attempted to provide copious comments in the code and hope that a knowledgeable C programmer can quickly map the approach as described in the paper to what is in the program.
