Abstract

See full text

In examples, Radio Frequency Iterative Time-Reversal (RF-ITR) and singular value decomposition (SVD) are used by an array of nodes to characterize environment by identifying scatterer objects. The array may be ad hoc dynamic or stationary. The environment is cancelled from the RF-ITR by adjusting Time-Reversal (TR) prefilters, reducing illumination of the scatterer objects in the environment. This enables the RF-ITR process to focus on a moving target, which can then be sensed (discovered, identified, monitoring, tracked, and/or imaged). The moving target on which the RF-ITR process focuses may then be cancelled from the RF-ITR in the same way as the environment, allowing the RF-ITR to focus on another target. Multiple moving targets can thus be sensed. Defensive measures such as jamming may then be taken against the targets. The targets may be distinguished from the scatterer objects in the environment through differential, Doppler processing, and other classification techniques.
