Abstract
An electrical signal transformation device configured for emulation of physical, for example, optical, phenomena and/or a mathematical or logical process. The device employs a first plurality, second plurality and third plurality of electrical components each having a first terminal and a second terminal. The first plurality and second plurality of electrical components are arranged along a first direction and a second direction respectively, to form a planar two dimensional lattice. The first plurality of electrical components are configured to provide at least one of a constant signal propagation velocity and/or amplitude while the second plurality of electrical components are configured to provide at least one of a varying signal propagation velocity and/or amplitude. The lattice includes at least two input signal nodes and at least one output signal node and is configured to transform and communicate a plurality of input signals from the input node to the output node.
