The acoustic logging process can be described as a signal transmission system with a corresponding transmission network model. This model gives the relations between driving-voltage signal, the electrical-acoustic conversion at the source, acoustic properties of the propagation media (borehole fluid and formation around borehole), the pressure response in the borehole, the acoustic-electrical conversion at the receiver and recorded logging signal.
