A Closed Time-Reversal Cavity for Electromagnetic Waves in Transmission Line Networks

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mario Paolone, Reza Razzaghi, Zhaoyang Wang

A closed time-reversal (TR) cavity has been considered a purely theoretical concept whose experimental realization was assumed to be impossible. In this article, we demonstrate that it is, in fact, possible to realize a closed TR cavity using a network of ...
