An azimuthally sensitive electromagnetic measurement tool is provided. The tool may be suitable, for example, to measure azimuthal variations of electrical properties of a subterranean formation. The tool includes a transmitter disposed to transmit electromagnetic energy into a subterranean formation and a longitudinally spaced receiver. At least one of the transmitter and the receiver includes a sector antenna. The sector antenna includes an exposed length of antenna wire that forms an arc about a portion of a circumference of the tool body. In one exemplary embodiment, the receiver includes first and second sector antennae, which, in combination, subtend a circular angle of about 360 degrees about the circumference of the tool body without substantially overlapping one another.
