Abstract:
Time reversal arrays are becoming common tools whether for detection, tomography or communication. These applications require the measurement of the response from the array to one or several receivers. The most natural way to record different impulse responses between several points is to generate pulses successively from each emitting point and directly record all the impulse responses on the recording points. However, this method is very time consuming and inefficient in terms of signal-to-noise ratio. Hence, in this work, we propose an original way of sending continuous signals simultaneously from all the sources, recording all the pressure fields on the receivers and processing them in order to extract the exact impulse responses by matched filter. To this end, the signals are adapted to the environment and, more specifically, to highly dispersive media. These adaptive instant records signals (AIRS) are used experimentally to detect targets using the time reversal operator decomposition method. The quality of the 15×15 transfer functions acquired simultaneously, and therefore, the detection capability is demonstrated in shallow water in the presence of bottom absorption and reverberation. Finally, the connection of AIRS with CDMA and FDMA that are two coding techniques used in telecommunication is shown.
