Wavelet Applications in Engineering Electromagnetics

by Tapan K Sarkar, Magdalena Salazar-Palma, Michael C Wicks

Overview

Written from an engineering perspective, this unique resource describes the practical application of wavelets to the solution of electromagnetic field problems and in signal analysis with an even-handed treatment of the pros and cons. A key feature of this book is that the wavelet concepts have been described from the filter theory point of view that is familiar to researchers with an electrical engineering background. The book shows you how to design novel algorithms that enable you to solve electrically, large electromagnetic field problems using modest computational resources. It also provides you with new ideas in the design and development of unique waveforms for reliable target identification and practical radar signal analysis. The book includes more then 500 equations, and covers a wide range of topics, from numerical methods to signal processing aspects.

Editorial Reviews

Aimed at those with a background in electrical engineering, this text describes the various applications of wavelet techniques in computational electromagnetics and signal analysis. The focus is on formulating wavelet-based solutions to Maxwell's equations. A sampling of topics includes the use of a multiscale basis in solving integral equations, the relationship of the continuous wavelet transform and the Fourier transform, development of the T-pulse, and denoising signals.
