The invention comprises real-time down-hole intelligent communication based on the characterisation of signal attenuation caused by a coaxial cable used as a communication medium and by frequency response changes of the electronic components of the transmitters and receivers, generated by the down-hole operating environment. The invention relates to a method for the real-time characterisation of the attenuation response of a two-way communication system using a coaxial cable, consisting in: generating test tones for the real-time characterisation of the attenuation response of a two-way communication system in the transmission and reception bands, measuring the signals received, estimating noise and the ratio to the communication signal, comparing with reference responses, adjusting the transmission and reception frequencies in order to maintain the communication with the maximum signal-to-noise ratio. The invention also relates to an adaptive two-way transmitter/receiver system for c ommunication using coaxial cable as a link means, formed by: a transmitter with automatic adjustment of the operating band by means of the real-time characterisation of the attenuation response of a two-way communication system. The invention further relates to adjustable filtering and coupling devices for optimising the transmission and reception bands, and a control module capable of measuring the transmission and reception attenuation responses and determining the operating frequencies and modulation techniques. The invention also relates to an intelligent receiver capable of automatically adjusting the operating band and modulation techniques in data reception. |
