1. A system for downhole wired-pipe communication and/or power transmission using signal and/or power couplers, comprising:

  • a first coupler comprising a first dielectric substrate, a first electric dipole arranged on said first dielectric substrate, first dielectric encapsulation surrounding said first dielectric substrate and said first electric dipole, and a first electric shield surrounding said first dielectric encapsulation; and

    a second coupler comprising a second dielectric substrate, a second electric dipole arranged on said second dielectric substrate, second dielectric encapsulation surrounding said second dielectric substrate and said second electric dipole, and a second electric shield surrounding said second dielectric encapsulation,wherein said first electric dipole and said second electric dipole are adapted to exchange radiofrequency signals and/or electrical power at radiofrequencies with each other by means of near-field dipole-dipole interaction.
