FAR FIELD MODELING OF ELECTROMAGNETIC TIME REVERSAL AND APPLICATION TO SELECTIVE FOCUSING ON SMALL SCATTERERS

摘要

A time harmonic far field model for closed electromagnetic time reversal mirrors is proposed. Then, a limit model corresponding to small perfectly conducting scatterers is derived. This asymptotic model is used to prove the selective focusing properties of the time reversal operator. In particular, a mathematical justification of the decomposition of the time reversal operator (DORT) method is given for axially symmetric scatterers.
