The wave concept iterative process (WCIP) method for electrical circuit network with triangular and hexagonal topology

摘要

This paper deals with an RLC circuit network with triangular or hexagonal grid. It is about a planar equilateral triangular grid where the passive (resistor, capacitor, and inductor) or active (voltage source for example) components are located at the sides or/and at nodes attached to the ground. The planar graph is oriented by three main direction vectors phase shifted to 60 degrees degrees. The wave concept iterative process (WCIP) method was employed to the theoretical formulation of the problem. In the formulation, the potential difference across each circuit component is represented by an auxiliary source defined in the spectral domain. The proposed theory is developed into two definition domains: a spectral domain in which periodicity and coupling between the circuit components are defined and a spatial domain describing the network topology and imposing the continuities conditions (Kirchhoff laws). The transition between the spectral and spatial domain is ensured by the so-called fast hexagonal Fourier transform. Numerical applications demonstrate the ability of the method for solving the inhomogeneous triangular lattices. Various conceptions have been proposed including an RL, RC, and RLC triangular network circuit, a perturbed triangular RLC circuit, and a triangular circuit excited by many lumped sources.
