Abstract Present paper demonstrates on application aspect of Haar wavelets and method of moments for
computing performance characteristics in electromagnetic field. In this paper, some significant results including
performance characteristics relevant to application of the Haar wavelets as the expansion function in the method of
moments have been successfully explored. The present analysis for performance evaluation has been focused for
three different electromagnetic materials- finite straight, thin plane plate and eddy current problem. The main results
explored are described in the main text and also concluded at the end with discussions.

1. Introduction
Literature reveals that wavelets and different
mathematical techniques have been applied in different
frameworks rigorously by tremendous previous researchers.
In the early of seventh decade, Harrington [13] studied
time-harmonic electromagnetic fields and Phillips [38]
presented numerical solution of certain integral equations
occurring in electromagnetic. Later in 1965, Richmond
[40] confined to explore digital computer solutions of the
rigorous equations for scattering problems in electromagnetic.
Subsequently keeping in view of increased interest of
researchers in this direction Mittra [31] authored a
noteworthy textbook on computer techniques for
electromagnetic and Stoll [43] also succeeded to present a
marvelous textbook on analysis of eddy currents. On the
subject some other textbooks are available, for more
details we refer Chui [7] and Constantine [10]. It is
noticeable that demand of applications of wavelets in
electromagnetic engineering problems by previous
researchers has been significantly increased since eighth
decade and therefore a number of previous noteworthy
researchers e.g. [3,4,5,6,8,9,12,14,19,21,28,29,34,36,37,39,42]
confined their attention in this direction in order to
analyze rigorously using different mathematical and
computer techniques. Among them, Belardi et al. [3,4]
focused their keen attention on applications of Harrs
wavelets for solving electrostatic problems and their
computational aspects. Furthermore, it is universally
accepted that different mathematical techniques have their
wide applications in solving engineering problems
including electromagnetic materials. Perhaps this may the
reason why some earlier researchers e.g. Bossavit [5],
Datta [11], Petre P. et al. [36,37], Maurya [22-27] applied
different mathematical techniques in different frameworks.
To be more specific, Bossavit [5] used a numerical
approach to transient nonlinear eddy current problems in
applied electromagnetic field. Petre P. et al. [36] applied
integral equation approach to analyze scattering from one-
dimensional periodic coated strips. In this connection it is
remarkable here that Harrington [13] succeeded to
compute electromagnetic field using moment method.
Here, we are keenly interested to focus the main
theoretical aspects of the method of moments and of the
Haar wavelets for computing some significant
performance characteristics in electromagnetic field.
2. The Method of Moments
As stated earlier that the method of moments is a
mathematical technique having its numerical nature which
has already been applied by some previous researchers e.g.
Harrington [13], and hence the complete description and
details of this method have already been presented in
many papers, in order to guide the reader through the
overall method explanation, a brief summary is here
shown. In a simplified way, it can be mentioned that the
