LOCALIZED WAVE GENERATION VIA MODAL DECOMPOSITION OF A PULSE BY A WAVE LAUNCHER

摘要

A computer-implemented method of operating a wave guide emitting two or more modes of propagating waves for observation of a localized wave peak at a predetermined distance from an aperture end of the wave guide. Amplitude and/or phase shift settings are selected based at least in part on the predetermined distance from the aperture end of the wave guide. Two or more modes are excited via modal decomposition of a pulse in the wave guide, based at least in part on the selected amplitude and/or phase shift settings.
