Spatiotemporal energy‐density distribution of time‐reversed electromagnetic fields by Elias Le Boudec, Hamidreza Karami, Nicolas Mora, Farhad Rachidi, Marcos Rubinstein, Felix Vega

“…The focusing time (i.e. the simulation instant at which the fields converge to the source location) and the source location can be identified using field maxima, entropy, time kurtosis, and space kurtosis. This paper analyses the spatial energy‐density distribution of time‐reversed electromagnetic fields by introducing a convergence metric based on the spatial average and variance of the energy density. …”
