Comparison of Wave-Mode Coordinate and Pulse Summation Methods.

Abstract

Nondispersive pulse propagation in a simple one-dimensional lattice structure is analyzed using the pulse summation method and the wave-mode coordinate method. The results of the two methods are shown to be identical, and both methods account for the existence of equivalent paths in the lattice. Some recommendations for future research are given. Keywords include: Wave Propagation, Large Space Structures, Wave-Mode Coordinates, and Pulse Summation Method.
