Some of the fluctuations can be considered as noise, and need to be filtered out before the signal will be used for other analysis. There exist various methods in order to filter the noise and one of the promising methods is wavelets transform. This paper utilized the use of wavelet transform method for solar radiation denoising. The Meyer wavelets have been utilized, instead of the usual sinusoidal or Gaussian type functions. Since Meyer wavelets are obtained directly from its Fourier transform which is in terms of sinusoidal functions, optimized Meyer wavelets may give a good indication of the solar radiation data. Results showed Heuristic Stein Unbiased Estimate of Risk (SURE) and SURE gave better denoised results as compared to Minimax and Fixed Form methods. © 2012 American Institute of Physics. %Z cited By 3; Conference of 2nd International Conference on Fundamental and Applied Sciences 2012, ICFAS 2012 ; Conference Date: 12 June 2012 Through 14 June 2012
