Abstract:
Although the spatial focusing property of the conventional time reversal approach facilitates multiuser communications, there always is residual crosstalk between users. A recent paper [Kim and Shin, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 115, 600-606 (2004)] proposed an adaptive active time reversal approach for simultaneous multiple focusing with minimal interference. This letter applies the adaptive approach to passive time reversal, multiuser communications for additional suppression of crosstalk among users. Experimental data at 3.5 kHz with a 1-kHz bandwidth demonstrate as much as 6.5-dB improvement per user in terms of output signal-to-noise ratio for three-user communications over a 20-km range in 120-m deep shallow water.

Basic Operations on Signals
Time Reversal mirrors a continuous-time signal about the vertical axis at t=0. This is achieved by substituting t with −t. For example, if a signal x(t) is considered, the time-reversed signal is x(−t). This operation can be graphically represented, showing the mirrored signal.
