Dirac Function

I need to implement a frequency domain representation of a cosine wave as a scalar expression wave propogation model. This would be a formula an complex expression containing two Dirac delta functions. How would you enter this into COMSOL as a scalar expression? I don't beleive it has a Dirac operator, or does it?
i*pi*[dirac(omega-a)-dirac(omenga+a)]
i*pi*[dirac(omega-a)-dirac(omenga+a)]

Hi
the closest you can get to a Dirac function is probably the test() functions, but these apply to dependent variables.
In time series Dirac functions tend to destabilise the solver stepping algorithms, so mostly one should use smoothened functions, but I must admit that I do not really understand what you are doing so I have some difficulties to give you any better clues

Good luck
