Summary

Researchers studied chaotic waves and point scatterers, finding a sharp diffraction peak when incident wave dynamics match the scatterer configuration. This offers potential for identifying patterns in microwave scattering from aperiodic structures.

Main Results:

  • A sharp diffraction peak was observed when incident wave dynamics matched the spatial configuration map.
  • Diffraction pattern symmetry depends on the invertibility of the map dynamics.
  • Chaotic incident waves yield high signal-to-noise ratios, aiding pattern identification.

Conclusions:
