9/1/1986 - Contract reportsThis report describes the creation of an efficient method to determine if command, control, communication, and monitoring (3cm) equipment in coal, metal, and nonmetal mines is susceptible to radio frequency interference (RFI) from the medium-frequency (...
-
7/1/1985 - Peer reviewed journal articlesMedium frequency (MF) techniques have been successfully applied to the problem of radio voice communications in both coal and metal and nonmetal mines. MF techniques can also be applied to the areas of in-mine control and monitoring. Preliminary work in...

9/1/1984 - Contract reports, Open File ReportsThis report deals with information regarding a new Medium Frequency (MF) Wireless Communication System for underground mines. This new telecommunication system works on low loss electromagnetic wave propagation modes which allow it to provide quality ra...
-
2/1/1984 - Contract reportsAn electromagnetic (EM) system for the location of trapped mine workers at coal-mine (300 m) depths has been developed.
-
2/1/1984 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe Bureau of Mines has conducted field studies in coal mines throughout the United States to determine the effectiveness of electromagnetic techniques in locating miners trapped underground following a mine accident.
-
1/1/1984 - Information CircularsSince 1969, the Bureau of Mines has sponsored numerous programs aimed at improving methods of underground communication. This manual brings together relevant data from all previous reports, studies, and other sources, and presents these data in such a w...

12/1/1983 - Contract reports, Open File ReportsA new postdisaster communication and location system using through-the-earth electromagnetic wave propagation was tested at the Bureau of Mines Lake Lynn Experimental Mine. This describes the testing process and findings.
-
9/1/1983 - Open File ReportsCurrent technologies for locating trapped miners from the surface are either simple direction finders or time difference pulse systems that have accuracy limitations. Developing technologies using full-vector field measurements at several receiving poin...
