Abstract
A directional sensor system that incorporates a single axis sensor element that is manipulated to a plurality of orientations. The resulting responses of the sensor element at these locations are combined to obtain a measure of orientation of the system. The system applicable for determining orientation of instrumentation within a well borehole such as measurement-while-drilling, wireline and tubing conveyed borehole instrumentation. The system can be used in other subsurface and surface applications.
