We consider a modified Noguchi electrical transmission line and examine the effects of a linear capacitance C(s) on the wave characteristics while considering the semidiscrete approximation. It appears that wave modulations in the network are governed by a dispersive nonlinear Schrödinger equation whose coefficients are shown to be a function of C(s). We show that the use of this linear capacitance makes the filter more selective. We also show that the width of the unstable regions increases while that of the stable regions decreases with C(s) adding consequently the width of the frequency domain where bright solitons exist. Furthermore, we establish the existence of one more region (compared to the work of Marquié et al. [Marquié et al., Phys. Rev. E 49, 828 (1994)]) in the dispersion curve that allows the motion of envelope solitons of higher frequency in the system. Numerical and experimental investigations done on the model confirm our analytical predictions.

In this work, the propagation of modulated waves in a nonlinear two-dimensional discrete electrical line is studied. Based on the linear dispersive law, we demonstrate that the network can adopt Hybrid’s behavior due to the fact that, without changing its appearance structure or its parameters values, it can become alternatively, a purely right-handed line, a purely left-handed line or a composite right-left-handed line depending on coupling transverse parameters L 2 , C 2 and k 2 . Using the reductive perturbation method, a (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation governing the dynamics of the small amplitude signals in the network is derived and the impact of the above transverse parameters on the sign of the product of their coefficients is examined. Likewise, backward and forward solitary wave propagations in the system is predicted and analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The effects of relevant transverse network parameters on the characteristic parameters of these waves are investigated. We find out that these transverse parameters considerably affect the characteristics and the nature of the waves that are propagated throughout the system.
