Abstract

A transmission system in a downhole component comprises a data transmission element in both ends of the downhole component. Each data transmission element houses an electrically conducting coil in a MCEI circular trough. The electrically conducting coil comprises at least two generally fractional loops. In the preferred embodiment, the transmission elements are connected by an electrical conductor. Preferably, the electrical conductor is a coaxial cable. Preferably, the MCEI trough comprises ferrite. In the preferred embodiment, the fractional loops are connected by a connecting cable. In one aspect of the present invention, the connecting cable is a pair of twisted wires. In one embodiment the connecting cable is a shielded pair of twisted wires. In another aspect of the present invention, the connecting cable is a coaxial cable. The connecting cable may be disposed outside of the MCEI circular trough.

Claims (21)

1. A transmission system in a downhole component, comprising: a data transmission element in both ends of the downhole component, each data transmission element housing an electrically conducting coil lying within a MCEI circular trough; wherein the electrically conducting coil comprises at least two generally fractional loops wherein the transmission elements are connected by an electrical conductor.

2. The transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein the loops are wires.

3. The transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein the loops are insulated wires.

4. The transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein the MCEI trough comprises ferrite.

5. The transmission system according to claim 1 , wherein the fractional loops are connected by a connecting cable.

6. The transmission system according to claim 5 , wherein the connecting cable is selected from the group consisting of a pair of twisted wires, a shielded pair of twisted wires, a coaxial cable, a triaxial cable, and a shielded twin axial cable.

7. The transmission system according to claim 5 , wherein the connecting cable is grounded.

8. The transmission system according to claim 5 , wherein the connecting cable is disposed in a hole in the MCEI circular trough.

9. The transmission system according to claim 5 , wherein the connecting cable is disposed outside the MCEI circular trough.

10. The transmission system according to claim 5 , wherein the connecting cable is disposed in a channel formed in the MCEI circular trough.

11. The transmission system according to claim 5 , wherein the connecting cable is disposed outside an annular housing, which houses the MCEI circular trough.

12. A transmission system in a downhole component, comprising: an electrical conductor connecting data transmission elements in both ends of the downhole component, each data transmission element housing an electrically conducting coil lying within a MCEI circular trough; wherein the electrically conducting coil comprises at least two generally fractional loops in communication with each other via a connecting cable.

13. The transmission system according to claim 12 , wherein the loops are insulated wires.

14. The transmission system according to claim 12 , wherein the MCEI trough comprises ferrite.

15. The transmission system according to claim 12 , wherein the connecting cable is a pair of twisted wires.

16. The transmission system according to claim 12 , wherein the connecting cable is a coaxial cable.

17. The transmission system according to claim 12 , wherein the connecting cable is disposed in a hole in the MCEI circular trough.

18. The transmission system according to claim 12 , wherein the connecting cable is disposed outside the MCEI circular trough.

19. The transmission system according to claim 12 , wherein the connecting cable is disposed in a channel formed in the MCEI circular trough.

20. A transmission system in a downhole component, comprising: an electrical conductor connecting data transmission elements in both ends of the downhole component, each data transmission element housing an electrically conducting coil lying within a MCEI circular trough; wherein the electrically conducting coil comprises at least two half loops in communication with each other via a pair of twisted wires disposed in a hole in the MCEI circular trough.

21. The transmission system according to claim 20 , wherein the MCEI trough comprises ferrite.
