Claim 15:
16. A method for measuring a characteristic of drilling through the earth's subsurface, the method comprising:
conveying a downhole drilling tool into the earth's subsurface, the downhole drilling tool having an active measurement system, the active measurement system comprising a receiver, a first transmitter, and a second transmitter;
transmitting a first transmitted signal from the first transmitter;
transmitting a second transmitted signal from the second transmitter;
receiving, with the receiver, a first received signal from the first transmitted signal and a second received signal from the second transmitted signal; and
determining, with a processor, the characteristic of drilling from the first received signal and the second received signal;
transmitting, by the first transmitter, a third transmitted signal;
transmitting, by the second transmitter, a fourth transmitted signal;
receiving, by the receiver, a third received signal from the third transmitted signal and a fourth received signal from the fourth transmitted signal;
creating, with the processor, 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
determining the characteristic of drilling based on the first data set and the second data set.
