    摘要: An apparatus and method for estimating a resistivity property of an earth formation involving electric current induced in an earth formation. The method may include reducing an error in a voltage received by a receiver coil due to excitation of a transmitter coil due to temperature effects. The voltage may include amplitude and/or phase errors. The method may modify the measured voltage by multiplying/dividing the voltage by a reduction factor. The reduction factor may be determined using polynomic curve fitting. The apparatus may be configured to perform the method. The apparatus may include at least one transmitter coil, at least one receiver coil, and at least one processes configured to perform the error reduction.
