✦ Synopsis

This paper presents an efficient space domain integral formulation of planar dielectric structures based on the concepts of multiresolution analysis (MRA) theory. Battle-Lemarie multiresolution expansions are utilized in the moment method solution of a volume integral equation for the unknown electric field. The generation of sparse moment matrices is explained in view of the cancellation property of wavelet basis functions. The formulation is then applied to two-and three-dimensional dielectric structures including waveguides and resonators, and the numerical results and consequences of matrix sparsity are discussed in detail.
