1. A method of manufacturing a communication system for a drilling system that includes a drill string configured to drill a borehole in an earthen formation, the method comprising the steps of:
attaching a first antenna to a first drill string component; forming a second drill string component such that the second drill string component is elongate along a longitudinal direction, the drill string component defining a passage extending along the longitudinal direction; and attaching a second antenna to the second drill string component so that the second antenna is positioned to face the passage, wherein the first drill string component is configured to be positioned in the passage of the second drill string component in an assembled configuration in the borehole such that the first and second antennas are within wireless communicative range with each other. |
