The Parabolic Wave Approximation and Time Reversal
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 explains the statistical stability of the time-reversal refocusing and super-resolution.

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 کاملAcoustic time-reversal mirrors in the framework of one-way wave theories
We investigate the implications of directional wavefield decomposition with a view to time reversibility. In particular, we discuss how wavefield decomposition preserves the reciprocity theorem of time-convolution type but looses the reciprocity theorem of time-correlation type. As a consequence, a perfect ‘time-reversal mirror’ in the framework of one-way wave theory does not exist: We find th...
متن کاملParabolic Approximation, Radiative Transfer and Time Reversal
We first present a new formulation of parabolic approximation of the Maxwell equations for heterogeneous dielectric materials. We then discuss rigorous results about selfaveraging scaling limits of parabolic waves in terms of the Wigner distribution function. Among the 6 possible scaling limits two are exactly solvable. We use the Green function to analyze the time reversal operation in turbule...
متن کاملTime Reversal of Parabolic Waves and Two-frequency Wigner Distribution
We consider propagation and time reversal of wave pulses in a random environment. The focus of our analysis is the development of an expression for the two frequency mutual coherence function for the harmonic wave field. This quantity plays a crucial role in the analysis of many wave propagation phenomena and we illustrate by explicitly considering time reversal in the context of time pulses wi...
متن کاملSuperresolution and Duality for Time-Reversal of Waves in Self-Similar Media
We analyze the time reversal of waves in a turbulent medium using the parabolic Markovian model. We prove that the time reversal resolution can be a nonlinear function of the wavelength and independent of the aperture. We establish a duality relation between the turbulence-induced wave spread and the time-reversal resolution which can be viewed as an uncertainty inequality for random media. The...
