ACOUSTIC TELEMETRY TRANSCEIVER

摘要

An apparatus and a system are provided for generating an acoustic signal. One embodiment of the apparatus includes a mandrel having a first conical section, an actuator that comprises a piezoelectric transducer to generate the acoustic signal that is to modulate along the mandrel and a second conical section to mate with the first conical section. One embodiment of the system may be comprised of a drill string having a mandrel having a first conical section, wherein the drill string includes a bottom hole assembly having a downhole tool. The downhole tool may include a piezoelectric transducer to generate the acoustic signal that is to modulate along the mandrel and a second conical section to mate with the first conical section.
