A tool and associated methods for transmitting electromagnetic data telemetry from a downhole sensor during drilling operations. The tool may include a pressure housing, the pressure housing including an EM transmitter, receiver, or transceiver. A conductive element electrically coupled to the EM transmitter, receiver, or transceiver is positioned between an upper and a lower signal conductor positioned coaxially around the conductive element. The upper and lower signal conductors support the pressure housing and conductive element within the inner diameter of a drill collar and provide electrical connection between the conductive element and a section of the drill collar on either side of an insulated gap. In some embodiments, the conductive element is tensioned between the upper and lower signal conductors. |
