(1).Borehole trajectory measurement: Probe measure the values of accelerometers, fluxgates and temperature sensor, and calculate the borehole trajectory parameters.
(2).Encoding: According to the operating requirements, probe use fixed format or non fixed format to generate the electrical pulses. And then these electrical pulses transferred to pulser.
(3).Power generating: Pulser use the power transferred from impeller to generate electric energy.
(4).Transmission: Pulser generates positive pressure signals under the control of electrical pulses.
(5).Decoding: Transducer acquires the pressure signals generated by downhole system, the signals are transferred through barrier box and DAQ system to surface system. Then surface system decode the signals to real time parameters.
1 High Temperature Pulser:
l Turbine generator : The internal electromagnetic induction generate electricity by high-speed rotating Impeller , which is drived by the mud in the pipe . The electricity can be used for all downhole tools;
l Positive pulse transmission: The signal is transmited by mud , pressure in the pipe is changed by the movement of poppet on the top of the pulser.
