The extremely long underwater channel delay spread causes severe inter-symbol interference (ISI) for underwater acoustic communications. Passive time reversal processing (PTRP) can effectively reduce the channel time dispersion in a simple way via convolving the received packet with a time reversed probe signal (PS). However, the PS itself may introduce extra noise and interference (self-correlation of the PS). In this paper, we propose a virtual time reversal processing (VTRP) for single input single output (SISO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. It convolves the received packet with the reversed estimated channel, instead of the PS to reduce the interference. Two sparse channel estimation methods, matching pursuit (MP), and basis pursuit denoising (BPDN), are adopted to estimate the channel impulse response (CIR). We compare the performance of VTRP with the PTRP and without any time reversal processing through MATLAB simulations and the pool experiments. The results reveal that VTRP has outstanding performance over time-invariant channels.
