Abstract
This paper deals with the modeling of the carbon fiber composite thin plate exposed to an external electromagnetic field. The underlying anisotropic partial differential equations are solved using the wave digital concept. After an appropriate change of the dependent variables and a coordinate transformation, a multidimensional passive reference circuit is derived along with its wave digital implementation. Numerical results, predicted using the multidimensional wave digital filtering approach, are compared to those obtained using the finite element method. Some stability related aspects are discussed. Besides, an electrostatic application of the presented wave digital model is outlined.

Appendices
Appendix 1: N-port series adaptor
The N-port series adaptor shown in Fig. 26 is the wave digital equivalent of the series connections in the MDKC of Fig. 2. The reflected power wave at port \(\nu \) of an N-port series adaptor is given as (Bilbao 2004):
Likewise, the symmetric Jaumann structure along with its wave digital symbol is displayed in Fig. 27.
For the special choice of port resistances shown in Fig. 27, the scattered waves from the differential adaptor are given by (Basu and Fettweis 2015):
It should be noted that the above scattering operations can be carried out simultaneously for all spatial grid points if sufficient computational resources are available.
Appendix 2: Anisotropic diffusion equation of the magnetic field
Neglecting the first terms on the right hand sides of Eqs. (4) and (5), i.e., adopting the magneto-quasistatic hypothesis for validation purposes, and combining the ensued relations with Eq. (3) one comes up with the following anisotropic diffusion equation of the magnetic field inside the ply:
This equation is solved with the FEM method (Silvester and Ferrari 1996) using the MATLAB PDE Toolbox (The MathWorks Inc. 2016) with the external magnetic field as boundary condition.
