Abstract

Space-time adaptive focusing is the most prominent feature of time-reversal electromagnetic waves. This paper studies the spatial power synthesis technology of distributed motion platforms based on time-reversal electromagnetic waves. Firstly, the spatial power synthesis process based on time-reversal on a distributed fixed platform is modeled. Then, the time-reversal signal processing process of a distributed array on the motion platform is deduced, and the feasibility of realizing precise power focusing is verified in theory. Finally, the factors affecting the power synthesis effect in the target area are analyzed. The simulation results indicate that the spatial power synthesis on the distributed motion platform based on the time-reversal can effectively balance between power focusing effect and computational complexity. Also, the proposed method has better efficiency than the existing techniques, and it has strong practicability and feasibility.
