Forlengelse og fremgangsmåte for elektromagnetisk antenne

An electromagnetic antenna extension assembly for connection downhole into a pipe string between a data transmission unit and an electromagnetic antenna. Further, a method for connecting the data transmission unit with the antenna utilizing the assembly. The antenna includes an outer antenna member and an inner antenna member having a lower electrical connector. The data transmission unit includes an outer transmission member and an inner data transmission tool having an upper electrical connector connectable with the lower connector of the inner antenna member. The assembly includes at least one extension tool comprised of: a conductive outer extension member having an upper end connectable with the outer antenna member and a lower end connectable with the outer transmission member; and a conductive inner extension member within the outer extension member and having an upper end connectable with the lower connector of the inner antenna member and a lower end connectable with the upper connector of the inner data transmission tool, such that the electromagnetic signal is communicable between the data transmission unit and the antenna.
