Zusammenfassung:A centralizer operable to connect with and centralize a downhole tool within a tubular string within a wellbore and to facilitate reception of electromagnetic signals transmitted through the Earth. The centralizer has a body, a first contacting member electrically connected to the body and extending radially away from the body such that the first contacting member contacts an inner surface of the tubular string to electrically connect the tubular string to the body, and a second contacting member electrically insulated from the body and extending radially away from the body such that the second contacting member contacts the inner surface of the tubular string to centralize at least a portion of the body within the tubular string.
