Wave Propagation in Periodic Structures

THIS book deals not with a special branch of physical science but with a general method and its applications to different problems. Its striking feature is the number and variety of subjects which are accessible to the same mathematical treatment: on one side problems of pure physics, like scattering of X-rays by crystals, thermal vibrations in crystal lattices electronic motion in metals, and on the other side problems of electric engineering, namely, propagation of electro-magnetic waves along periodic circuits and filtering properties of such systems.Wave Propagation in Periodic StructuresElectric Filters and Crystal Lattices.
