The problem of one-dimensional quantum wire along which a moving particle interacts with a linear array of N delta-function potentials is studied. Using a quantum waveguide approach, the transfer matrix is calculated to obtain the transmission probability of the particle. Results for arbitrary N and for specific regular arrays are presented. Some particular symmetries and invariances of the delta-function potential array for the N = 2 case are analyzed in detail. It is shown that perfect transmission can take place in a variety of situations.
