Electromagnetic Point Source Reconstruction by Reversed-TLM MethodAbstract
Classical methods for source synthesis are iterative, time consuming, and not always adapted to the desired problem. In this paper, we present a new method of electromagnetic source synthesis based on the time-reversal technique. This approach employs the reversed-TLM method and permits the reconstruction of a source distribution, from its electromagnetic far-field radiation. Point-like source reconstruction results show that by using this method, the “classical” half-wavelength resolution limit is overcome.
