A recent note by Gascoigne (1959) on transmission in multilayer dielectric filters is interesting as an example of an adoption to a given problem of a result from an entirely different problem, namely, the Kronig-Penney model for metal lattices. However, one may wonder whether, in the long run, it would not be more economical of time, especially for students, to notice that the multilayer filter, the Kronig-Penney lattice, and for that matter many other problems, are all essentially forms of the same thing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
