Experimental investigations of microwave signal attenuation in radio link within geophysical information transmission

The paper describes the basic results of the project Borehole Microwave as researchers design microwave pulse signal transfer through a drilling pipe as a new communication channel. Methods of the telemetry information transfer are investigated. The measurements while drilling (MWD) mock-up of system based on the new concept of creation of telemetry equipment is developed. The experimental bench for electro-physical researches of various media in the drilling pipes is carried out. Investigations of measurement of attenuation of microwave pulse in drilling pipes are presented. Results show a possibility of operation in perspective field of investigations. The data transfer through a new communication channel in microwave band will open new possibilities of improving of the measurement-while-drilling equipment.
