Locating events using time reversal and deconvolution: experimental application and analysis
- Time reversal techniques are used in ocean acoustics, medical imaging, seismology, and non-destructive evaluation to backpropagate recorded signals to the source of origin. We demonstrate experimentally a technique which improves the temporal focus achieved at the source location by utilizing deconvolution. One experiment consists of propagating a signal from a transducer within a concrete block to a single receiver on the surface, and then applying time reversal or deconvolution to focus the energy back at the source location. Another two experiments are run to study the robust nature of deconvolution by investigating the effect of changing the stabilization constant used in the deconvolution and the impact multiple sources have upon deconvolutions focusing abilities. The results show that we are able to generate an improved temporal focus at the source transducer using deconvolution while maintaining the robust nature of time reversal. Additionally, deconvolutions costs areTime reversal techniques are used in ocean acoustics, medical imaging, seismology, and non-destructive evaluation to backpropagate recorded signals to the source of origin.

The results show that we are able to generate an improved temporal focus at the source transducer using deconvolution while maintaining the robust nature of time reversal. Additionally, deconvolutions costs are negligible due to it being a preprocessing step to the recorded data. The technique can be applied for detailed investigation of the source mechanisms (e.g. cracks) but also for monitoring purposes.…
