We review the time‐backward (TB), the time‐forward (TF), and time‐average (TA), and the exponential time‐differencing (ETD) time‐stepping schemes of the finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) method for the efficient simulation of electric conductive media. The application of global time‐step adjustment and adaptive‐gridding techniques is addressed in an outlook. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 25: 16–21, 2000.
