A time-reversing array (TRA) retrofocuses sound energy to its source. Vertical TRA orientation performs best in shallow water, outperforming horizontal orientations due to geometrical factors and mode-shape weighting.

Area of Science:

  • Acoustics
  • Oceanography
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Time-reversing arrays (TRA) can focus acoustic energy to the source location.
  • Understanding TRA performance in various orientations is crucial for underwater acoustics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the impact of linear TRA orientation on retrofocusing performance in shallow water.
  • Compare TRA performance in vertical, endfire, and broadside configurations.

Main Methods:

  • Analytical and computational modeling of monochromatic sound propagation in a Pekeris waveguide.
  • Utilized modal sum Green's function and computed Green's function for sound channel with vertical sound speed variation.
  • Compared retrofocusing characteristics for three orthogonal array orientations.

Main Results:

  • Vertical TRA orientation demonstrated superior retrofocusing performance compared to endfire and broadside.
  • Geometrical considerations and mode-shape weighting in the back-propagated field significantly influence horizontal TRA performance.
  • Differences in performance are linked to array geometry and acoustic field interactions.

Conclusions:

  • Array orientation is a critical factor affecting TRA retrofocusing efficiency in shallow water.
  • Vertical arrays offer optimal performance due to favorable geometrical interactions with the acoustic field.
  • Findings provide insights for designing and deploying TRAs in underwater acoustic applications.
