Self-averaging in time reversal for the parabolic wave equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze the self-averaging properties of time-reversed solutions of the paraxial wave equation with random coefficients, which we take to be Markovian in the direction of propagation. This allows us to construct an approximate martingale for the phase space Wigner transform of two wave fields. Using a priori L-bounds available in the time-reversal setting, we prove that the Wigner transform in the high frequency limit converges in probability to its deterministic limit, which is the solution of a transport equation.

Statistical Stability in Time Reversal
When a signal is emitted from a source, recorded by an array of transducers, time reversed and re-emitted into the medium, it will refocus approximately on the source location. We analyze the refocusing resolution in a high frequency, remote sensing regime, and show that, because of multiple scattering, in an inhomogeneous or random medium it can improve beyond the diffraction limit. We also sh...
متن کاملThe Parabolic Wave Approximation and Time Reversal
We analyze the phenomenon of super-resolution in time-reversal acoustics. A signal recorded by an array of transducers and sent back reversed in time approximately refocuses on the original source point. The refocusing resolution is improved in an inhomogeneous medium when the pulse has rich frequency content. We show that the back-propagated signal is self-averaging in this situation. This exp...

With the rapid growth of indoor wireless communication systems, the need to accurately model radio wave propagation inside the building environments has increased. Many site-specific methods have been proposed for modeling indoor radio channels. Among these methods, the ray tracing algorithm and the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method are the most popular ones. The ray tracing approach ...
متن کاملSelf-Averaging Scaling Limits for Random Parabolic Waves
We consider several types of scaling limits for the Wigner-Moyal equation of the parabolic waves in random media, the limiting cases of which include the standard radiative transfer limit, the geometrical-optics limit and the white-noise limit. We show under fairly general assumptions on the random refractive index field that sufficient amount of medium diversity (thus excluding the white-noise...
متن کاملOn the Self-Averaging of Wave Energy in Random Media
We consider the stabilization (self-averaging) and destabilization of the energy of waves propagating in random media. Propagation is modeled here by an Itô Schrödinger equation. The explicit structure of the resulting transport equations for arbitrary statistical moments of the wave field is used to show that wave energy density may be stable in the high frequency regime, in the sense that it ...
