Abstract
This paper discusses the physics and aspects of the optimization of a type of near field radio frequency antenna which has been proposed for use in logging-while-drilling measurements. A numerical boundary element method is developed to provide accurate quantitative results. This two dimensional problem exhibits some features of the classical problem of minimizing losses in a long transmission line, except in a novel 'wrap around' geometry.
