Near-bit while-drilling instruments commonly adopt an underground short-distance electromagnetic wireless communication technology (wireless short transmission), various parameters measured by the near-bit instruments are transmitted to a Measurement While Drilling (MWD) system MWD (Measure WHILE DRILLING) after being passed over a power drilling tool with a length which is usually in a range of 5-15 m and is difficult to embed a wire, and near-bit data are transmitted to the ground by the MWD system.
The underground short-distance electromagnetic wireless communication technology is divided into: two modes of electric field antenna transmission technology and magnetic field antenna transmission technology are adopted.
