Abstract

A wireline logging sonde for sensing fluid properties in a bore hole. The sonde has a main body and a plurality of sensor capsules mounted peripherally to the main body on fingers. A sensor element is located in each sensor capsule. The sensor elements receive power by inductive coupling from the main body and transmit data signals at radio frequencies back to the main body.
