Abstract :
This paper compares three different modelling techniques applied to the problem of field propagation through time-varying media. Each method is representative of a particular class of methods, namely analytical, semi-analytical and numerical methods. The accuracy, stability, strengths and limitations of each method will be discussed on time-varying one-dimensional and two dimensional problems
