  1. Advances in EMC Measurements on Railways

  2. Origins of EMI in Railways

  3. Difficulties With Railway EMC Measurements • (Fast) Moving EUT • Large EUT • Complex Radiation Propagation Mechanisms • Poor Control of Measurement Environment • Transient Emissions • from traction motors • from power supply arcing

  4. The Measurement System • Three Spectrum Analysers giving: • constant monitoring of a chosen frequency range • Two Further Spectrum Analysers: • to detect transient emissions (amplitude & repetition) • set to single frequency (zero span) • wide input bandwidth • two analysers allow for test site variations and spurious radio signals • Camera: • to record an image associated with each plot

  5. Transient Detection • Tuned Receiver / Spectrum Analyser • good dynamic range • readily available in EMC laboratories • good response when wide bandwidths chosen • Fast Sampling Oscilloscope • All signal information can be captured instantaneously

  6. Variations in Emissions

  7. The System Aids In: • Measurement of EM emissions from railway systems dynamically • Separation of continuous and transient events • Increasingly important as digital communications become more widespread • Rapid assessment of rolling stock characteristics • Monitoring and assessing variations and degradations
