Abstract

An electrical induction sonde for measuring a characteristic of an earth formation traversed by a borehole having improved vertical resolution and excellent depth of penetration. The sonde has two or more transmitter-receiver spacings preselected to provide at least two separate induction signals received from the formation that, when combined, produce a response function indicative of formation physical properties with no zeros in the spatial frequency response function over the frequency domain of interest.
