Preformed antenna with radio frequency connectors for downhole applications

摘要

Pre-formed non-flexible antenna modules are connected to one another via radio-frequency ("RF") connectors for downhole applications. The antennas include two or more non-flexible antenna modules having a one or more center conductors extending therethrough. The antenna modules are connected by high frequency RF connectors, thereby forming a single antenna. Accordingly, the illustrative embodiments described herein will reduce the assembly complexity, increase repeatability of the design implementation, and enhance the productivity of the manufacturing process.
