Abstract

Time reversal of waves has been successfully used in communications, sensing and imaging for decades. The application in underwater acoustic communications is of our special interest, as it puts together a reversible process (allowing a reversible software or hardware realisation) and a reversible medium (allowing a reversible model of the environment). This work in progress report addresses the issues of modelling, analysis and implementation of acoustic time reversal from the reversible computation perspective. We show the potential of using reversible cellular automata for modelling and quantification of reversibility in the time reversal communication process. Then we present an implementation of time reversal hardware based on reversible circuits.

Notes

  1. 1.

    From the electronic point of view, these elements are piezo transducers capable of converting mechanical to electrical energy while operating as receivers and the opposite while operating as transmitters. From the communications standpoint, they are transceivers, and from the everyday standpoint they are microphones/speakers.

  2. 2.

    Partitioning of cellular automata is an approach rules are applied to blocks of cells and the blocks change in successive time steps. Different approaches exist, depending on the grid shape, e.g. Margolus neighbourhood for square grids, and Star of David and Q*Bert neighbourhoods for hexagonal grids.
