Abstract :
Recently, the wavelet expansions have been applied in field computations. In the frequency domain, the application is focused on the thinning of matrices arising from the method of moment (MoM). The thinning of matrices can best be done by the measured equation of invariance (MEI), which provides sparsity almost without sacrificing accuracy in that the boundary equation it entails is convertible to that of the MoM. The real power of the wavelet expansions is to give high resolution in convolution integrals. High resolution is also needed in the process of finding the MEI coefficients, which are obtained via an integration process almost identical to that of the MoM. In this paper, it is shown that when the fast discrete periodic wavelets (FDPW) are used as metron currents in the MEI method, the resolutions of the MEI coefficients are improved at high-frequency computations or at geometric extremities. The level of sparsity of the MEI is much more favorable than that achievable by the thinning of MoM matrix using the wavelet expansions. The role of FDPW in the MEI happens to be more fitting than its place in the MoM
