Abstract:

A transmitter for use in downhole telemetry and/or control is provided. The transmitter comprises a mixer; modulator; and signal generation apparatus configured to generate a frequency modulated signal. The mixer is configured to generate an output signal based on the frequency modulated signal. A frequency spectrum of the output signal comprises upper and lower sidebands disposed about a suppressed or reduced frequency of the frequency modulated signal. The modulator is operable to modulate an input signal onto the output signal. A telemetry system and associated methods are also provided.
