A hybrid method combining finite difference time domain(FDTD)with topology network was presented to treat with electromagnetic couplings and transmissions in large spaces A generalized matrix euqation expressing the relations among wave vectors at every port of the network nodes was give Scattering characteristics and electromagnetic distributions of every node was calculated independently using FDTD A structure of irises in a waveguide was taken as numerical examples This hybrid method has more advantages than the traditional FDTD method which includes saving calculation time,saving memory spaces and being flexible in setting up FDTD grids
