Abstract

At Brigham Young University, acoustic time reversal experiments are conducted in solids and fluid media. The experimental setup involves synchronized generation and acquisition hardware. The synchronized hardware allows for multi-channel generation, and in some cases, multi-channel acquisition of time reversal focusing. A LabVIEW application has been compiled to increase ease of use and repeatability for the students conducting experiments. Forward and backward steps of time reversal are conducted through this simple user interface. The software is also able to control a 2D positioning system that allows for the measurement of the spatial extent of a time reversal focus. Modifications to traditional time reversal processing, such as inverse filtering and one-bit processing, may be easily implemented in the software. This presentation describes the hardware and software that help to facilitate time reversal research. Ideas from this presentation may help others develop time reversal data acquisition systems.
