Supratransmission induced by waves collisions in a discrete electrical lattice.
We numerically performed a way to produce a supratransmission phenomenon in the Salerno equation describing the dynamics of modulated waves in a discrete nonlinear transmission lattice. For the natural supratransmission phenomenon, there exists a threshold of amplitude for which energy can flow in the line. We show that gap transmission is possible with driven amplitude below the threshold due to the collision of different plane waves coming from both edges of the line. One of the two plane waves has a frequency in the forbidden gap, and another has a frequency in the allowed phonon band. During collision, the wave in the allowed band is considered as a perturbation of the ones in the forbidden gap.
