A phononic crystal acts as a dispersive medium with a phase speed that is lower than the bulk wave speed at frequencies below the resonance of a single resonator. Time reversal is used to compensate for the phase shifts caused by individual resonators as the waves enter the medium and enable focusing of acoustic waves among the crystal. An equivalent circuit, which can predict the dispersion and attenuation of the crystal model, is shown and compared to a full-wave finite-element simulation in frequency and time. The phase shift due to a single resonator is also depicted.
