ABSTRACT = {The numerical modelling of electromagnetic waves by finite element - boundary element coupling procedures is discussed here, taking into account time-domain approaches. In this study, the global model is divided into different sub-domains and each sub-domain is analysed independently and explicitly at each time-step of the analysis: the interaction between the different sub-domains of the global model is accomplished by interface procedures. A multi-level time-step algorithm is considered in order to improve the flexibility, accuracy and stability (especially when conditionally stable time-marching procedures are employed) of the coupled analysis. At the end of the paper, numerical examples are presented, illustrating the potentialities and robustness of the proposed methodologies.},
