Abstract

Time reversal is a relatively new type of acoustic localization with many applications, such as lithotripsy to destroy kidney stones, and secure underwater sound communication, though in some ways time reversal is still in the development stage. To this end, we explore the efficiency and limitations of this technique due to the number of sensors used and the directivity pattern of the source to be reconstructed in the experiment.
