    摘要: A system may obtain orthogonal pairs of acoustic waveforms obtained by a rotating downhole acoustic tool. The downhole tool may include an acoustic transmitter and an acoustic receiver. A computing device communicatively coupled to the downhole tool that instructs the transmitter to generate the various waveforms detected by the acoustic receiver and store the various waveforms in a buffer. Each waveform of a subset of the various waveforms oriented in a similar direction may be stacked to generate a composite waveform with reduced noise. The computing system may determine an orthogonal pair of waveforms based on the composite waveform and remaining waveforms.
