Ultrasonic through-wall sensors
Abstract
Aspects of ultrasonic through-wall data communication are described. In some aspects, a sensor device is located in an isolated environment behind a wall. A modulator generates a modulated sensor signal based on the binary sensor signal and a carrier signal. A coaxially aligned pair of electroacoustic transducers that transmits the modulated sensor signal through the wall of the isolated environment. A demodulator demodulates the modulated sensor signal to generate a demodulated binary sensor signal. A sensor data recovery component converts the demodulated binary sensor signal into an image or another sensor parameter.
