A new analysis method based on wavelet domain for linear time-varying systems is developed and introduced and it is called system analysis in wavelet domain (SAIWD). Linear time-varying systems described by a higher order differential equation or state-space representation are analyzed in wavelet domain. To solve system equations, they are transferred to wavelet domain by forming algebraic matrix-vector relations using the wavelet transform coefficients. These relations are achieved by defining operator matrices concerned with the commonly used time domain operators. Orthogonal and compact support wavelets provide a simple way to define these operator matrices. It is seen from the solved examples that the percentage error between the analytical and wavelet domain solutions is around 1% in total sampling points.
