• Improved Rail Haulage Communications
  10/1/1978 - Conference papers
  An analysis is made of the trolley line as a communications line, and methods of improving its characteristics are discussed.
• Medium-Frequency Propagation in Coal Mines
  8/1/1978 - Conference papers
  Medium-frequency (MF) waves can propagate in a coal seam, bounded above and below by conducting rock, in an approximate transverse electro-magnetic (TEM) transmission-line mode with the electric field vertical and the magnetic field horizontal. The theo...
• Underground Mine Communications
  1/1/1978 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  Extensive analysis of mine-communications systems has identified specific areas, in particular the excessive times required to locate key personnel underground, the inadequacy of existing phone systems in terms of capacity and privacy and the inability ...
• Electromagnetic Propagation in Low Coal Mines at Medium Frequencies
  1/1/1978 - Contract reports
  This report covers magnetic field strength measurements versus range and frequency in low to medium coal mines. Both quasi-conductor-free and conductor-proximity areas were investigated.
• Transmit Antennas for Portable VLF to MF Wireless Mine Communications
  9/1/1977 - Contract reports
  An investigation was made of the feasibility of developing compact transmit antennas and/or other means to efficiently couple VLF to MF band radio energy between portable wireless communication units in coal mines. The completely wireless communication ...
