Abstract
Based on the theory of time reversal technique and through the use of temporal dispersive delay lines, this paper presents a demonstration of temporal cloaked signal transmission at microwave frequencies. When compared with a conventional signal processing system, the related dispersive delay lines are not required to provide linear group delay response. Thus the proposal simplifies the system structure for temporal cloaking, avoids the drawbacks of easy detection, easy decoding and easy analysed brought by linear modulation system, and then strengthen the safety and reliability in signal transmission. Theoretical analysis and experimental results validate the proposed system. The proposed method and achieved results indicate potential application in secure communications and data multiplexing subject to channel bandwidth requirements.
