More Information
Summary:An acoustic telemetry unit comprising an acoustic receiver (40) for receiving acoustic telemetry signals is disclosed. The acoustic telemetry unit comprises a filter (42) for filtering signals received by the acoustic receiver and a processor (46) for processing signals passed by the filter to recover a data signal. An energy storage module (62) is provided for supplying electrical power to the acoustic telemetry unit. The energy storage module (62) is charged using signals received by the acoustic receiver (40) which are not passed by the filter (42). This may help to conserve battery power.
