Abstract

A method for reconstituting a signal due to a flow distortion in a mud-pulse telemetry system, having steps of obtaining at least one parameter to be transmitted by a transmitter to a receiver through the mud-pulse telemetry system, estimating a change in a flow rate in a borehole fluid along a trajectory of the mud-pulse telemetry system undergoing a fluid distortion, estimating a Doppler rate of the signal traveling through the borehole fluid along the trajectory of the mud-pulse telemetry system, calculating a Doppler compensation value for the signal sent along the trajectory in the borehole fluid, transmitting the signal of the at least one parameter through the mud-pulse telemetry system, receiving a portion of the signal of the at least one parameter and reconstituting at least a portion of the signal using the Doppler compensation value.
