Modelling time reversal applications in a reverberation chamber using the current image method

In this paper, we present a numerical model to analyze Time Reversal applications in a reverberation chamber using the current image method. The principles behind this numerical model are presented in the first part of the paper. The major advantage of this reverberation chamber model is that it requires a lot less computing time than usual solvers with qualitatively satisfying results. Next, an extension of our method to model Time Reversal Mirrors in reverberating cavities is described. Finally, two examples of Time Reversal refocusing using Time Reversal Mirrors of one or several elements are presented for illustration.
