Claim 12:
13. A downhole drilling characteristic measurement system for measuring a characteristic of drilling through the earth's subsurface, the downhole drilling characteristic measurement system comprising:
a downhole tool having an active measurement system, comprising a receiver, a first transmitter, and a second transmitter;
a controller in communication with the first transmitter and the second transmitter, the controller configured to control the first transmitter and the second transmitter to transmit a first transmitted signal from the first transmitter and a second transmitted signal from the second transmitter, wherein the receiver is arranged to receive a first received signal from the first transmitted signal and a second received signal from the second transmitted signal; and
a processor configured to determine the characteristic of drilling from the first received signal and the second received signal,
wherein the controller is configured to control the first and second transmitter to transmit a third transmitted signal from the first transmitter and a fourth transmitted signal from the second transmitter;
the receiver is arranged to receive a third received signal from the third transmitted signal and a fourth received signal from the fourth transmitted signal;
the processor creates a first data set comprising the first received signal and the second received signal and a second data set comprising the third received signal and the fourth received signal; and
the characteristic of drilling is determined based on the first data set and the second data set.
