%     This MATLAB M-file implements a finite-difference time-domain
%     solution of Maxwell's curl equations over a one-dimensional space
%     lattice comprised of uniform grid cells.
%
%     To illustrate the algorithm, a 1-GHz sinusoidal wave propagating 
%     in a nonpermeable lossy medium (epsr=1.0, sigma=5.0e-3 S/m) is 
%     modeled.  The simplified finite difference system for nonpermeable
%     media (discussed in Section 3.6.6 of the text) is implemented.
%
%     The grid resolution (dx = 1.5 cm) is chosen to provide 20
%     samples per wavelength.  The Courant factor S=c*dt/dx is set to
%     the stability limit (S=1).  In 1-D, this is the "magic time step."
%     The total number of time steps (nmax=240) corresponds to a physical 
%     time of 12 ns.
%
%     The grid is terminated with electric-field components at the far-left
%     (i=1) and far-right (i=ie) boundaries.  The sinusoidal wave is
%     launched by an electric-field hard-source condition at i=1 (see
%     Eq. 5.1 in the text).  The simplest radiation boundary condition
%     for plane wave propagation is used to update the electric field
%     at i=ie:  
%
%                      Ez(ie,n+1) = Ez(ie-1,n)
%
%     To execute this M-file, type "fdtd1D" at the MATLAB prompt.
