Abstract

An electromagnetic borehole telemetry system providing improved signal to noise ratio. Adaptive filters use noise channels as references to remove noise from the signal channel. Multiple noise channels are coupled to series connected adaptive filters for removing each noise source from the signal channel. The order of noise removal is selected to remove the most significant first.
