본 논문에서는 Delay-Sum Back Projection(DSBP) 기법과 finite-difference time-domain 방법으로 구현된 time reversal(FDTD-TR) 기법을 실험 데이터에 적용하고, 그 결과를 비교한다 두 기법은 모두 시영역에 기반을 둔 기법으로서 초광대역 레이더 신호를 처리하여 표적의 실제 위치와 모양에 가까운 영상을 생성할 수 있다. 실험을 위한 초광대역 레이더는 네트워크 분석기, 저항성 V 다이폴 안테나, 스캐너, 제어 컴퓨터로 구성되며, 레이더 개구면은 안테나를 1차원 스캔하여 합성된다. 실험 데이터는 신호 왜곡과 클러터를 포함하는데, 이를 제거하는 보정 절차가 수행된다. 두 기법은 동일한 플랫폼에서 동일한 데이터에 적용되며, DSBP 기법은 FDTD-TR 기법에 비해 더 나은 영상을 생성하지만 더 많은 시간이 걸린다는 것을 보인다.

The ability of time reversal techniques to focus ultrasonic beams on the source location is important in many aspects of ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation. In this paper, we investigate the time reversal beam focusing of ultrasonic array sensors on a defect in layered media. Numerical modeling is performed using the commercially available software which employs a time domain finite difference method. Two different time reversal approaches are considered - the through transmission and the pulse-echo. Linear array sensors composed of N elements of line sources are used for signal reception/excitation, time reversal, and reemission in time reversal processes associated with the scattering source of a side-drilled hole located in the second layer of two layer structure. The simulation results demonstrate the time reversal focusing even with multiple reflections from the interface of layered structure. We examine the focusing resolution that is related to the propagation distance, the size of array sensor and the wavelength.

Various techniques for noninvasively focus microwave energy on lesions have been proposed for thermotherapy. To focus the microwave energy on the lesion, a focusing parameter, which is referred to as the magnitude and phase of microwaves radiated from an external array antenna, is very important. Although the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD)-based time-reversal (TR) focusing algorithm is widely used, it has a long processing time if the focusing target position changes or if optimization is needed. We propose a technique to obtain multistatic data (MSD) based on Green's function and use it to derive the focusing parameters. Computer simulations were used to evaluate the electric fields inside the object using the FDTD method and Green's function as well as to compare the focusing parameters using FDTD- and MSD-based TR focusing algorithms. Regardless of the use of Green's function, the processing time of MSD-based TR focusing algorithms reduces to approximately 1/2 or 1/590 compared with the FDTD-based algorithm. In addition, we optimize the focusing parameters to eliminate hotspots, which are unnecessary focusing positions, by adding phase-reversed electric fields and confirm hotspot suppression through simulations.
