Abstract

In this paper we deal with full-wave modelling of pulsed terahertz systems utilized in non-destructive testing. At the outset, some basic information on the terahertz NDT and next general remarks on its numerical modelling are presented. Frequency domain FEM and time domain FDTD analysis is carried out. Finally comparison of computed and measured signals is shown in order to prove numerical analysis correctness.
