The paper describes a new approach to electromagnetic analysis of magnetized plasma using finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. An equivalent lumped circuit describing an FDTD cell filled with plasma is developed and applied in the analysis. Such a method is proved more effective than previously reported methods. The new approach is verified on a canonical example of known analytical solution.
