Simple acoustic multiplexer.
Simple structures enabling the multiplexing of acoustic waves are presented. Such structures are constructed out of two monomode acoustic wires and two masses bound together, and to the wires by springs. We show analytically that these simple structures can transfer with selectivity and in one direction one acoustic wavelength from one wire to the other, leaving neighbor acoustic wavelengths unaffected. We give closed-form relations enabling to obtain the values of the relevant physical parameters for this multiplexing phenomena to happen at a chosen wavelength. Finally, we illustrate this general theory by an application.
