Abstract

Using Daubechies wavelet with one, two, three, and four vanishing moments, basis functions for the efficient solution of electromagnetic integral equations are studied. Due to the vanishing moments, the moment matrices resulting in these problems are sparsified by wavelet, and consequently, the solution can be obtained rapidly. The microstrip line is examined in order to demonstrate the advantages of this suggested wavelet-moments method over the traditional moment method. To demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed technique, numerical results for error relative for different vanishing moments of Daubechies wavelets are presented. It is found that Daubechies wavelets with larger number of vanishing moments generally give higher accuracy.
