Abstract:
A recent paper [H. C. Song et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 127, EL19-EL22 (2010)] demonstrated adaptive time reversal (ATR) using at-sea experimental data which significantly suppressed the cross talk among users (or transmitters) over conventional time reversal. In this letter, the ATR approach is shown essentially equivalent to the least squares solution to an over-determined system.

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.
