    Track compensation with audiofrequency track circuits

    No full text
    Track Circuits (TCs) are the most diffused and popular train detection system and they are in close relationship to the concept of track integrity, in terms of robustness with respect to and monitoring of track defects (such as broken rails, component disconnection, etc.). In this paper the general modeling of TC transfer functions is presented, together with an analysis of the sensitivity to TC parameters treated as random variables and a verification of the optimal settings (transmitter and receiver impedance, compensating capacitor value and number of cells)

    A Helmholtz coil for high frequency high field intensity applications

    No full text
    In this work a general introduction to Helmholtz coil is presented and then attention is on a practical implementation of a wideband (50 kHz) coil for high magnetic flux density applications (several mT may be obtained). Field uniformity is within 1.5% and 0.35% inside cubic volumes of 25% and 10% of the coil side respectively, so suitable also for high accuracy applications such as sensor calibratio
