It has received a great deal of attention in recent years, essentially in the field of acoustics, where it was first developed by Prof. Fink and his team in the 1990s. In the past decade, the technique has also been used in the field of electromagnetics and applied to various other areas of electrical engineering. In particular, the technique has been successfully applied in the fields of elec- tromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and power systems, leading to mature technologies in source-location identification with unprecedented performance compared to classical approaches. It is expected that the fields of application of electromag- netic time reversal (EMTR) will continue to grow in the near future. This book is intended to give the theoretical foundation of the electromagnetic time-reversal theory. Special emphasis is given on real applications in the fields of EMC and power systems. The book’s introductory chapter presents the theoretical basis of the electromagnetic time-reversal technique. It starts with a discussion of the notion of time in physics and goes on to present three approaches that can be used to effectively make a system go back in time, in the sense that it retraces the path it came from in the immediate past. The concepts of strict and soft time-reversal invariance are introduced and illustrated using simple examples. The time-reversal invariance of physics laws is then described, with special attention given to the time-reversal invariance of Maxwell’s equations. The concept of time-reversal cavity and the use of time reversal as a means of refocusing electromagnetic xii Preface waves is then described. The chapter ends with a brief presenta- tion of application areas of electromagnetic time reversal. Chapters 2 to 7 are devoted to specific applications of EMTR, including EMC measurements, EM field focusing and amplifi- cation, interference mitigation in power line communications, lightning detection, and fault location in power systems. In Chapter 2, the potential use of time reversal in diffusive media for radiative testing is addressed, in particular for EMC, antenna testing, and channel emulation. The chapter starts with a brief review of common features of diffusive media, introducing probabilistic models for the random nature of fields in them, showing the complexity of the media and making the case for the generation of coherent wavefronts. The response of a diffusive medium to time-reversed signals is then analyzed for point-to-point transmissions, illustrating how received signals are affected by background random fluctuations due to the frequency-selective response of the medium. It is shown that narrow bandwidths are sufficient to enable the properties of time reversal, a point that is of fundamental importance in high-power microwave applications. Other properties are then presented, including the possibility of using single-antenna time-reversal (TR) mirrors and the ability of TR to control the polarization of received fields, independent of the features of the transmitting antenna. In addition, spatial and time focusing are shown to lead to energy efficiencies even higher than those expected in reverberation chambers. Virtual sources are introduced based on the observation that standard TR assumes the availability of sources of radiation whose fields will then be time-reversed. In the final part of the chapter, a generalization of TR is presented that allows the generation of complex, arbitrary wavefronts. Chapter 3 deals with the robustness of the EMTR process for
