Method and systems for optimizing acoustic energy transmission in implantable devices are disclosed. Transducer elements transmit acoustic locator signals towards a receiver assembly, and the receiver responds with a location signal. The location signal can reveal information related to the location of the receiver and the efficiency of the transmitted acoustic beam received by the receiver. This information enables the transmitter to target the receiver and optimize the acoustic energy transfer between the transmitter and the receiver. The energy can be used for therapeutic purposes, for example, stimulating tissue or for diagnostic purposes.

A communication device includes: a board having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a third surface different from both the first surface and the second surface; a first magnetic sheet disposed on a side of the first surface; a first coil disposed on the first magnetic sheet; a second magnetic sheet disposed on a side of the second surface; a second coil disposed on the second magnetic sheet; and a third coil disposed on the third surface. A part of the first magnetic sheet overlaps at least a part of the third coil in plan view.
