Zhangkun, Yes, I understand "ABC" in FDTD algorithm. But, "absorbing" is not equal to "impedance matching". Simply speaking, radial transmission line is a 2D transmission line. The radial impedance is proportional to the reciprocal od distance. If your goal is to get resonance free, I suggest you can adopt "Adaptive Voltage Positioning" algorithm. It is easy to implement.

In FDTD algorithm, there is one absorbing boundary condition named Mur's. My method is similar to that.
