While the FDTD technique computes electromagnetic fields within a compact spatial region, scattered and/or radiated far fields can be obtained via near-to-far-field transformations.<ref name="umashankar82" />
 
==== Stability ====
Due to the linearity of the FDTD method, the region of stability of the FDTD method may be determined by [[Von Neumann stability analysis]]. This method assumes that electric and magnetic fields are proportional to a monochromatic complex exponential. After a single time-step, the magnitude amplitude of the stable fields need to remain the same or less. This leads to the [[Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy condition]], which describes the relationship of the FDTD parameters to ensure stability.<ref name="taflove05"/>
