Microwave transmission spectra in regular and irregular one-dimensional scattering arrangements

There is a close correspondence between one-dimensional tight-binding systems, and the propagation of microwaves through a single-mode waveguide with inserted scatterers. Varying the lengths of the scatterers arbitrary sequences of site potentials can be realized. Exemplary results on the transmission through regular and random arrangements of scatterers as well as through sequences with correlated disorder are presented.
