  We study linear transmission and nonlinear soliton transport through
quasi-periodic structures, which profiles are described by multiple modulation
frequencies. We show that resonant scattering at mixed-frequency resonances
limits transmission efficiency of localized wave packets, leading to radiation
and possible trapping of solitons. We obtain an explicit analytical expression
for optimal quasi-periodic lattice profiles, where additional aperiodic
modulations suppress mixed-frequency resonances, resulting in dramatic
enhancement of soliton mobility. Our results can be applied to the design of
photonic waveguide structures, and arrays of magnetic micro-traps for atomic
Bose-Einstein condensates.
