Ultrasonic signals are widely used in the field of medical imaging and industrial nondestructive testing. Ultrasonic wave can propagate through solid, liquid or gas media and consequently can be used as the carrier of the information for communications. In this paper, we examine the feasibility of using the ultrasonic signal for communication in solid media. Characteristic of ultrasonic waves in the solid channel are studied and an FPGA based platform is designed for software-defined digital and packet communications. Experimental results are presented and analyzed to demonstrate the feasibility of using ultrasonic guided waves for digital communication in solid channels such as metal plates.
