Abstract
A technique facilitates communication of signals in a downhole environment. According to an embodiment, the system comprises an antenna which may be combined with a well component for communicating signals along a wellbore. The antenna comprises wire which is coated with a suitable material, such as amorphous polyetheretherketone (PEEK), and wet wound into a coil. A plurality of protective elements may be combined with the wire, e.g. sleeves may be placed over portions of the wire to protect the wire. Layers of tape also may be wrapped around coil to enhance durability of the antenna.
