The Modeling Framework for Through-Metal-Wall Ultrasonic Power Transmission Channels Based on Piezoelectric Transducers

الملخص EN

The investigation of the wireless ultrasonic energy and signal transmission through metal barrier into hermitical metallic structures has become an interesting field of research.

The most often constructed acoustic-electric ultrasonic power transmission channels are based on piezoelectric transducers.

Effective modeling methods with accuracy are essential to the performance prediction and optimal design of such channels.

Up to now, there exists a variety of modeling methods including theoretical analytical method, equivalent circuit method, two-port network method, and finite element modeling method.

However there is a little chaos about how to choose an appropriate modeling method among them.

There is also a lack of a systematic modeling framework presented involving principles, advantages, disadvantages, and constraint conditions of these methods.

In this review, a common modeling framework for through-metal-wall acoustic-electric channels based on piezoelectric transducers is presented.

The principles of the major modeling methods are introduced and the adoptability and constraints of each method are discussed.

For each modeling method, simulation and or experimental results are also presented to validate the accuracy of the corresponding modeling method.
