N2 - For systems that require complete metallic enclosures (e.g., containment buildings for nuclear reactors), it is impossible to access interior sensors and equipment using standard electromagnetic techniques. A viable way to communicate and supply power through metallic barriers is the use of elastic waves and ultrasonic transducers, introducing several design challenges that must be addressed. The objective of this work is to investigate the use of piezoelectric transducers for both sending and receiving power and data through a metallic barrier using elastic waves at ultrasonic frequencies above 1 MHz. High-fidelity numerical and simplified analytical models are developed for ultrasonic transmission and novel strategies are explored to eliminate crosstalk between channels.
