Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An antenna 3 of an electromagnetic probe used in investigation of geological formations GF surrounding a borehole WBH comprises a conductive base 31 and an antenna element 32 . The conductive base 31 comprises an opened non-resonant cavity 33 . The antenna element 32 is embedded in the cavity 33 and goes right through the cavity. The antenna element 32 is isolated from the conductive base 31 . The antenna element 32 is coupled to at least one electronic module via a first 34 A and a second 34 B port, respectively. The electronic module operates the antenna so as to define either a substantially pure magnetic dipole, or a substantially pure electric dipole.
