  • Spotlight Summary by Christophe Caloz

    • Hidden time-reversal symmetry in dissipative reciprocal systems
    • Time Reversal (TR) symmetry is widely regarded as equivalent to reciprocity. However, the two concepts are strictly distinct: a simple lossy system is TR asymmetric while being reciprocal! Given the fact that all the...
