Time-reversal and the adjoint method with an application in telecommunication
arXiv:math/0412379
Abstract
We establish a direct link between the time-reversal technique and the so-called adjoint method for imaging. Using this relationship, we derive new solution strategies for an inverse problem which arises in telecommunication. These strategies are all based on iterative time-reversal experiments, which try to solve the inverse problem experimentally instead of computationally. We will focus in particular on examples from underwater acoustic communication and wireless communication in a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) setup.
