Abstract
The time reversal (TR) techniques used in electromagnetics have been limited for a variety of reasons, including extensive computations, complex modeling and simulation, processes as well as, large-scale numerical analysis. In this paper, the SIBC-FDTD method is applied to address these issues and to efficiently model TR systems. An original curvilinear modeling method is also proposed for constructing various obstacles in a 2D microwave cavity and for processing the corners of the cavity. The EM waves’ spatio-temporal focalization has been realized, and results of the simulations further prove the accuracy and effectiveness of this modeling method. Furthermore, they demonstrate that the microwave cavity processes may significantly improve the focalization quality in terms of SSLL enhancement.
