  • Patent number: 11487040
    Abstract: A multi-frequency tuning circuit includes a first branch including a first inductor and a first capacitor arranged in series and a second branch including a second inductor and a second capacitor arranged in series. The circuit is arranged within a circuitry module configured to be positioned between a source and a load, the first branch and the second branch both associated with loads, from the source, having low impedance frequencies. In order to improve transmitter antenna output power for downhole tools, the tuning circuit creates high impedance at operating frequencies between frequencies corresponding to low impedance.

  • Patent number: 10812069
    Abstract: A switch driving circuit includes an output coil having a first end and a second end and configured to receive positive or negative pulses from an input coil and a drive portion that includes a holding capacitor coupled across the output coil. The circuit also includes a discharge circuit that includes a discharge switch connected across the output coil, the discharge circuit having a discharge resistor and a discharge capacitor connected in parallel with each other and across control terminals of the discharge switch and a shunt circuit connected across the output coil that shorts the first end to the second end after a positive pulse is received.

  • Patent number: 4276484
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling electric current in loads that are essentially inductive, such that sparking and "ringing" current problems are reduced or eliminated. The circuit apparatus employs a pair of solid state switches (each of which switch may be an array of connected or parallel solid state switching devices such as transistors) and means for controlling those switches such that a power supply supplying two d.c. voltages (e.g. positive 150 volts d.c. and negative 150 volts d.c.) at low resistance may be connected across an essentially inductive load (e.g. a 6 gauge wire loop one hundred meters in diameter) alternatively and such that the first solid state switch is turned off and the second is turned on such that both are not on at the same time but the first turned on and the other on in less time than the inductive time constant (L/R) so that the load is essentially always presented with a low resistance path across its input.
