How to find Resonance frequency of rectangualr cavity from FDTD data

AI Thread Summary
To compute the resonance frequency of a rectangular cavity using 3D FDTD data, one effective method is to input a chirp pulse or white noise and apply an FFT to the output. This approach is suggested as it may be faster than scanning across frequencies and analyzing output amplitudes. The discussion emphasizes the importance of processing time-domain data correctly to extract resonance frequencies. Utilizing FFT is a common practice in simulations, such as those performed in SPICE. Implementing these techniques should facilitate accurate resonance frequency calculations for the cavity.

Hello,
I have written 3D FDTD code with Mur ABC which gives correct results for time domain data.
Now I want to compute the resonance frequency of a rectangular cavity using this 3D FDTD code.
I don't know how I will do that.

Would someone please advise me the steps I need to follow now to calculate the rectangular cavity resonance frequency.
Any code or help on how the time domain data need to be processed is highly appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe this is a silly suggestion, but could you just use a chirp pulse (or even white noise) as an input and then use an FFT on the output?

I can't think of a better method right now, of course you could just "scan" across frequencies and look at the amplitude of the output; but chirp+FFT should be faster, and I believe this is how it is usually done in e.g. SPICE simulations.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
