Abstract (en)

A preferred system has a piezoelectric transducer (67a) disposed in a bore (64a) in a cylinder (63) forming part of a down-well transmitter unit (37). The transducer (67a) operates in the relatively low loss acoustic propagation range of the well drilling string (35). The efficiently coupled transmitting transducer (67a) incorporates a mass-spring-piezoelectric transmitter combination permitting a resonant operation in the desired low frequency range.
