Abstract
An example downhole tool incorporating aspects of the present disclosure may include a tool body and a first flexible material coupled to the tool body. A transmitter may be coupled to the first flexible material. A receiver may coupled to the first flexible material, with the receiver having at least two antenna windings positioned in different orientations. A control unit may be communicably coupled to the transmitter and the receiver, the control unit having a processor and a memory device coupled to the processor, the memory device containing a set of instruction that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to generate an electromagnetic signal in a downhole element using the transmitter, and measure a response of the downhole element to the electromagnetic signal using the at least two antenna windings of the receiver.
