Abstract
A method and apparatus for stabilizing a communication sensor in a borehole is described. The principle embodiment described includes a pair of centralizers at opposite ends of the housing for the communication sensor to maintain each of such respective ends at a constant lateral displacement from the borehole casing. A pair of flexible joints are provided to isolate the communication sensor to decouple the component to be protected from any motion and/or forces secured to the same urging it from the centralized position.
