Wellbore communication system

A wellbore communication system comprising:

• an electrically conductive axial support body;
• a first conduction component secured to the electrically conductive axial support body and electrically connected to the electrically conductive axial support body, wherein the first conduction component is electrically conductive;
• a transmitter positioned a first distance from the first conduction component on the electrically conductive axial support body, wherein a first electrode of the transmitter is electrically connected to the electrically conductive axial support body;
• a second conduction component disposed on the electrically conductive axial support body a second distance from the first conduction component, the second distance being greater than the first distance, wherein the second conduction component is electrically conductive and is electrically insulated from the electrically conductive axial support body;
• and
• a cable electrically connected to a second electrode of the transmitter and the second conduction component, the cable including an electrical conductor, wherein the electrical conductor is not in contact with the electrically conductive axial support body.
