The finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) method is applied to simulate the two-dimensional propagation of electromagnetic TM (S-polarization) mode in atmospheric plasma and in metal layer for strong electron-neutral collisions. Dependence of the wave attenuation on both plasma parameters and incident wave angle are obtained. It is indicated that for a given electron density profile the attenuation depends strongly on the incident angle, the wave frequency, the width of plasma layer, and the collision frequency between electrons and neutrals.
