A general investigation of the nature of an iterative, LC lattice structure, shown to function as a transmission channel capable of carrying two distinct wave modes, is carried out. Both a uniform system and an inhomogeneous case where the capacitor values vary slowly down the lattice structure are considered. Emphasis is placed on a formal and numerical investigation of basic wave properties and their significance with regard to signal transmission, crosstalk suppression, plus the particularly interesting phenomenon of one mode converting to the other which is found to occur in the inhomogeneous case. Potential uses of the lattice such as simulated wave studies, among others, are suggested. Relations for termination impedances are derived, and special cases involving different combinations of excitation and termination conditions are considered.
