The first acoustic telemetry system was studied as part of a drill stem testing system in 2000, but there are some problems limited it to using for information transmission in drilling. In the paper, we study and simulation on the drill string channel characteristics. Based on the transmission equation of longitudinal wave in periodic drill string channel, we get a geometrical model for drill string channel. Two aspects are studied. Firstly, the equation for dispersion is established analyze and simulate the influence of length and cross-section to dispersion.
