Abstract

An electromagnetic telemetry system may include an electrically conductive member, a transmitter coupled to the electrically conductive member, the transmitter configured to induce an alternating current along the electrically conductive member, the alternating current representing encoded information, a first receiver coupled to the electrically conductive member, the first receiver configured to receive electromagnetic waves resulting from the alternating current, a second receiver positioned at a location apart from the first receiver, the second receiver configured to receive the electromagnetic waves resulting from the alternating current, and a receiver processing system communicatively coupled to the first receiver and the second receiver, the receiver processing system configured to process the electromagnetic waves received by the first receiver and the second receiver into a combined signal, and decode the combined signal.
