A railway is a complex distributed engineering system: the construction of a new railway or the modernisation of a existing one requires a deep understanding of the constitutive components and their interaction, inside the system itself and towards the outside world. The former covers the various subsystems (featuring a complex mix of high power sources, sensitive safety critical systems, intentional transmitters, etc.) and their interaction, including the specific functions and their relevance to safety. The latter represents all the additional possible external victims and sources of...

RF and microwave measurements are common to many disciplines and engineering areas: device and PCB characterization and testing, EMI and EMC, and signal integrity, during design, prototyping and production phases. Measurement setups and procedures are more and more complex and demanding in terms of accuracy, performance, flexibility. Methods and techniques are often borrowed from other domains, including signal processing and probability theory. Mastering the whole process has thus become challenging for the variety and breadth of the required skills and experience. This book attacks the...

Railway and metro systems embed modern technologies and interface with external systems, outside world and humans. This book focuses on electromagnetic field coupling and its experimental assessment. Electromagnetics, transmission lines, antennas, the spectrum analyzer, time-frequency transforms, probability, statistics and uncertainty are the background. Six chapters follow that discuss standards, scientific literature, measurement methods, procedures. Emissions of rolling stock, line and substation using 2006 and 2015 versions of EN 50121 are considered, discussing infrastructure influence,...
