Wave Propagation in Periodic Structures

Book Description
"Basic reading."--Journal, Acoustical Society

"Remarkable that so much ground has been covered with a comparatively simple technique."--Science Progress

"Delightfully written . . . It is a book not only for instruction, but also for enjoyment."--Max Born, Nobel Laureate

This volume covers a wide range of problems with a common mathematical background. Dealing with a general method and its application, it covers one-dimensional lattices and electric wave filters; complicated one-dimensional lattices and electrical analogues; energy velocity, flow, and characteristic impedance; two-dimensional lattices and zones; three-dimensional lattices and Brillouin zones, with rationalizations of systems of forbidden and permitted energy; Mathieu's equation, Hill's equation, Mathieu's functions, matrices, and propagation of waves along an electric line; and continuous electric lines. 1946 ed. 131 illustrations.
