A NOVEL SYNTHESIS TECHNIQUE FOR CONDUCTING SCATTERERS USING TLM TIME-REVERSAL

This paper presents a novel numerical synthesis technique based on the reversal of the TLM process in time. It allows the designer to genera te the geometry of a passive structure from its desired frequency resp onse using alternate forward and backward time domain simulations. The essential steps of the procedure are explained and validated using, a s an example, the synthesis of an inductive obstacle in a waveguide. I f fully developed, it promises to become an advantageous alternative t o the traditional techniques using frequency domain numerical methods.
