Abstract
Time reversal (TR) is a promising technique in detecting weak targets immersed in clutter. This paper reports a series of electromagnetic (EM) domain experiments on TR detection using a single antenna pair in a controlled scattering environment. The TR likelihood ratio detector is compared with the conventional energy detector and the matched filter. The EM experiments demonstrate the superiority of TR detection over conventional detection in rich multipath scattering environments.
