  • Electromagnetic geological metrology system
    Patent number: 8264229
    Abstract: An electromagnetic geological metrology system comprises: (a) a transmitter arrangement for generating outbound radiation towards a geological formation; (b) a receiver arrangement for receiving reflected electromagnetic radiation reflected from the geological formation and generating corresponding one or more received signals; and (c) a data processing arrangement for processing the one or more received signals, The system is distinguished in that: (d) the transmitter arrangement includes an antenna arrangement coupled via a switching arrangement to an energy storage arrangement; and (e) the switching arrangement is operable to discharge energy stored in the energy storage arrangement for generating the outbound radiation.
